a question for you price watchers...

[back alley]

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.

so, that's about 450 usd...

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...

 

[back alley]

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.

Seems about right. One sold last spring on Getdpi for exactly that -

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)
