Maybe this is old news  but B&H has the 32mm for $399. I'd snag that right up if I didn't already have 2.

Great lens at a great price. They really should've given it an USM and OIS though.

Great catch!

Turns out the refurb price has also dropped and is a great deal at $345.59, lowest I've ever seen:

Yup, it’s been at that price for a month now:

Finally enough discount to put me over the edge on buying it.

I just bought this lens. Haven't had a chance to run it through its paces, but from the few pictures I've taken of my in house model (the dog), I must say it appears to be a nice sharp lens.

Then it would have been a “Great lens at a MUCH GREATER price!”  

I actually find that this lens’ autofocus is fast enough for anything and everything I’ve ever thrown at it, including bike racing outdoors and basketball indoors.

This lens is a real jewel.  I highly recommend it to anyone who likes this focal length.

How much do you think OIS would cost? Canon puts it in the RF 35mm f/1.8 and 85mm f/2 and they are not exorbitantly expensive.

I don't think any of these lenses have USM ? They are already much larger and are not  F/1.4.

How much more would those lenses cost if they were F/1.4?

Exactly!  

Plus unhappyme forgot all about the additional cost of adding USM on top of that!!  All in all…  you’re talking even more $$$.
