I personally do think it's a little overpriced giving the f8. But it's hard to know if it was a little cheaper would the quility be as good as it is, it's honestly the best built lens I've had in my hands.

We only know if it's overpriced ifbwe knew Fuji margins, but we will never know.

Perhaps a bit off topic, but margins really aren't particularly relevant.  Pricing -- at least for luxury goods or gear such as cameras -- is always a matter of value, and whether customers feel that the pricing justifies the expense.  If enough customers are willing to pay the price, then it's probably priced where it should be.  If demand is low, then the product may well be overpriced, particularly if the pricing is high in comparison to competition.
