I have this lens and it is incredible. This is not really a deal however. Fuji themselves put the lenses on sale every few months, probably good to wait for that.

baunThis lens was frequently on sale for $699 at major retailers like B&H and Adorama. However, you'll never know when the deal goes on... Also, Fujifilm has gotten A LOT more popular and the demand is much higher now, so the sales may not happen as frequently anymore. Basically what I said is useless. Sorry.

Starving_RtistPrice history shows it has gone that low, but it's been a while. Current sale of $899 is best in a while, probably for the reason of popularity you cited. $850 is a lukewarm deal... Does it come with warranty? Can get good deals on lightly-used lenses on auction sites for 700-750

PaulAdams11I vaguely remember that all lenses sold by Massdrop come with US warranty. The 16mm f/1.4 on auction sites for around $700 are probably all without the warranties. I'd be too afraid to buy those.

Starving_RtistCertainly any purchase of a used lens will not be under warranty (even if they have the original warranty card... usually the "fine print" states that warranty coverage will only be offered to the original buyer with proof of original purchase). For me, a warranty isn't worth $150, given my experience with many lenses and zero warranty issues.
