These don't show up too often, but Jack's Camera in Muncie, Indiana has one for
$ 1395. I don't even know if that's a "good" price, but if it's the same one I
saw a while back, it's a beauty.
No connections, other than being a customer a time or two.
Just passing along info.

Thanks to all who recommended this lens. I just got my first roll (Kodak
400UC) back from the lab; I can't show any pics yet 'cuz my web hosting service
is down and besides the Frontier scans are nowhere near what I can get from the
Polaroid.
Here's what I like:
solid construction
compact enough (w/ R4) to use as a go-everywhere camera
It's well-balanced, especially with the STA-1 tripod collar
no focus creep, no zoom creep.
Parallel focussing mechanism so polarizing filters don't rotate as I focus
mimimal linear distortion
so far, no flare or bokeh problems
Critical examination of the negs will have to wait until I can scan some.
What I don't like: I didn't have it 20 years ago.
