what is the going price for a cv 28/3.5 and a cv 50/2.5?
and while we're at it...for an rd1?
all in great shape and working as they should...
yes, i'm thinking about it...

can only comment on the 28/3.5. watched out for it some months and the main problem is they are hardly ever sold. the last one i saw in a regular auction on ebay went for about 340€ (black version without finder) if i remember correctly. i finally bought the 25/4 (230€ including finder) and am really happy with it.

yeah, but hard to say if that's by any means representative as it seems nobody wants to sell this lens - must be really good or not so many were produced. or both...

it's a good lens, very solid and sharp and small...ideal for street shooting...

I was looking for one for a long time. Ended up splashing the $$$$ on a 28 Summicron. I think you will get a premium because there are never any available.

I think the $450 is about right for the CV28/3.5. I sold mine last year and that's about what I remember getting. May have gone up a bit due to scarcity.

since you are in Canada, a silver 28/3.5 is still available at Downtown Camera at $430. Or unless you insist on black.

I assume that it doesn't come with a viewfinder.

$425-500 on the 28mm and $375-425 on the 50mm recently.

Yep - it seems a little easier to find the 50 - most folks have a bunch of 50s already so demand is less. It's really an amazing little lens. So far, seems razor sharp across the frame at any aperture. I got a new one for $429.
The 28 is harder to find - but not nearly impossible. $450-$500 used, excellent cond.

Not biting. Betcha you won't do it, Joe. If you were serious, you'd just put them up auction-style and get it over with.

i am assessing my priorities...being a lowly paid not for profit worker...
i want the new ipad and i rarely use my cv 28...need to balance out my wants and needs and wishes...
do i really need 2 rd1s when i now have another camera (nikon dslr) that i like?
i rarely use the 50 on a rangefinder but like it better on the dslr...
i know i like the 21/40 combo on the rd1 so one body and 2 lenses keeps me happy.
lots to think about...

TV sucks out your creative soul - as I sit and gaze at my 60 inch flat screen I know this is true
I bought a black 28mm last fall off the bay for $358 and I love shooting with it
( hey where did the comment go that said you wanted to buy a tv)
