Who doesn't love a bargin, and now the time to brag about your best purchases or trades for rf equipment.
If you don't feel comfortable posting a price, post two items, one you payed less, and one you payed more for. A story would be interesting too.
ie
35 Cron
c-elmar < v1 35mm summicon < tele elmarit
ar-bay auction, 3 lens lot, only description was that it was a leitz lens and the one photo was blurry. I recognized the blurred shape as either a 35/2.8 summaron or 35/2 cron. Either way it was a steal so I bid and lucked out it was the cron.
IIIF RDST + COLL CRON
summar < IIIF RDST + COLL CRON < c-elmar
craigslist posting, saw the post within 2 hours of it being posted, picked it up the next day. The IIIf does need a CLA, but there isn't a scratch on it.
