2 Different Nokton 50s What's the Diff?

[Joe Mondello]

I thought for a moment that B&H had just raied the price on the Nokton 50/1.5 until I looked a bit deeper.

I see that these are for different cameras (for S&C costs $479 and for R&L costs $344) but are they really THAT different to warrant the 50% price differential? Or is it just supply and demand?

Anybody know? Thanks!

The Bessa S or C is for the Nikon and Original Zeiss mount cameras. I would guess that because these lenses are discontinued and harder to come by is why they are more....................

Stephen at CameraQuest is the official importer for these and I'd be more comfortable buying from him that the NY giant.

Hope this helps....

i love B+H but I would only buy RF stuff from our sponsors. They are folks like us.
