If you are buying online and importing from the US or the UK you really do need to check the local prices as they may be better.
For example a well known supplier in the USA has the following offer: Price:$2,198.00 + $630.25 Shipping & Import Fees Deposit to Ireland [The total of $2828.25 includes delivery, duty and VAT].
However, you can purchase this lens locally at Conns for Euro 2288 [$2747]. You can import from the UK for about 1900 Sterling [Euro 2145]

Groundbreaking resolution in an F2.8 standard zoom |
The ultimate choice for professional portrait, travel and event photographers seeking the highest possible optical performance. The XA element reduces aberration and delivers the ultimate resolution throughout the entire zoom range and aperture range, as well as from corner to corner of all image files. |
9-blade circular aperture contributes to gorgeous bokeh
When changing your aperture to defocus the background, the light sources appear blurred. This ‘bokeh’ effect of the blurred background can be enhanced with circular aperture blades used in this lens. Conventional aperture blades have flat sides creating unappealing, polygonal shaped defocussed points of light. α lenses overcome this problem through a unique design that keeps the aperture almost perfectly circular from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2 stops. Smoother, more natural defocusing can be obtained as a result.
