I paid $275, January 2011. However, the retailers best price is now $357. No surprise, really; Japan has had it pretty rough these last couple years.

EDIT: Just found the receipt: AU$267 (was about US$275-280, at the time).

There was a rebate recently which expired in March.  I complained my way into getting an additional discount from Amazon and my final price was $317.  But $350 is probably going to be the norm.

I doubt it will be that much less than 325 after the new version comes out (presuming there is something on the horizon).  And my guess is that the new f/1.4 version is going to be around $500 at launch. 

Whenever you do get the lens, get a $5 hood and it will not only protect the exterior element, but it will prevent any shock trauma to the USM motor which can seriously affect auto focus.
