Hi Boris. It was the 43 Ltd i was confusing with price, as opposed to the FA 28. I like that little bit extra the 28 offers on the istD as opposed to getting closer to the 50 focal length. Its snow golf this weekend, and i used the A 28 last year, and will again this year. To late to get something used in 5 days. Maybe i'll take John's advise and look for a used 31.:-) Dave
