What would you consider a fair price for a used 16-80? Amazon Japan has a "Used - Like New" that states minor cosmetic damage and specifies no obstructions within the lens optics for the equivalent of about $640 USD, which seems like a good deal, and a "Used - Very Good" listing that says there is some dust (but it doesn't affect image quality) for about $580 USD. This also being Japan, where folks tend to have an extremely high bar for the quality of used products, I would think they're being honest. Those are pretty steep discounts from MSRP, but I'm very new to the camera market in general and not certain what's considered good/fair pricing for used hardware.

It's out of stock at the moment, but I bought two brand-new gray-market lenses from E-infinity: 18-135 made in Philippines and 50-140 made in Japan.

They basically have the same prices as when those lenses go on sale in the US.
