You can get mint copies for around €900, more used for maybe €600-700. I'm sure that will go down if they bring out one with IS.
It is very solid and very well made.
Here on my E-M1 with my home made strap for carrying. The black thing is an old arm warmer from my biking gear, here pulled back so you can see the focusing ring, the two black rubber rings right in front of it. I can focus with the cover pulled all the way to the end, but it is easier and quicker like this.
The 1.4x Extender III, (newest generation) runs around €400. Worth the extra over the II version. Much cleaner.
I haven't tried yet with a TN, but I am tempted, provided I can do it without having to change anything on the TN element itself. Still need it for the scope. It can be a bit of a contrast killer, but sometimes it is very helpful.

I tried the TN but as I suspected it does not work well with this type of lens. Fuzzy and lacks contrast.
