My son has one of these that I've used and they are all metal, made in Japan and built like a tank.
It takes outstanding, sharp images and Nikon still sells them new for $1,395. Check out this link from Nikon's website about this lens:

I am also looking for one of these (2nd in line after gianfranco47). Same parameters - $500 shipped for Indiana, US. I just ordered one from Adorama for $520 and due to their negligent packaging it arrived damaged and had to be returned. Don't like ordering off of eBay as it's hit and miss.

Just out of curiosity so I can learn: I thought defocusing background or foreground (typically just as much in front as backyard from the focus ) was a function of Depth of field depending on the aperture. The ring in the front of the lens appears to be a depth of field ring (although i do not see the distance displayed next to it. The rings in the backbit seem to display aperture, and there is a distance ring and a tiny range 16-16 visible. Other than moving the depth of field range a little (so focus is still between the two equal aperture numbers) , what is different about this lens than other lenses?

More on defocus control here:

If I had a spare $500, that 105mm DC offered by gunner369 above would be on its way to me.
