Hi Phillippe!

The price looks very good, to me.  Of course, much depends on condition1

However, in addition to all the other advice you've been offered, 
check that [a] the shoulder stock and grip are included in the price 
(they aren't always... and can be a bear to find on their own) and 
[b] whether it is the old style ( bent aluminium bar) or newer style 
moulded pistol grip.   If the older style, you can make a new one... 
see http://www3.telus.net/telyt/getting_a_grip.htm for details on how 
I made mine.

Good luck!  It's a great lens!

Cheers!
