Canon 35´s prices

[elmer3.5]

Hi, i would like your opinion about pricing for canon ltm 35mm.

35/2.8
35/2
35/1.8

What would be fair price for these lenses, which do you think it´s the best when it comes to flare and sharpness wide open?

Cheers!

I paid $175 for a 35 2.8 and $300 for a 35 2.0. Both were purchased in the last couple years. Both are tiny and fun to use. They're not particularly sharp at wide apertures and the contrast is moderate, but I like the results. I sold the 2.8 and kept the 2.0 for the extra stop.

I always check this site for prices.

KEH offers a BGN 35mm/1.8 for $399. When they drop the price to $350 level I think someone will pick it up. I've said it before and I say it now that prices have risen lately. Maybe it's all seasonal fluctuation, maybe Canon lenses have become collector items, maybe digital users are buying, who knows.

i own both before and keep the 35/2. 150-175 is reasonable for the 2.8, 300 is good price for 2.0.
after sold the 2.8 I really regret, except the one f-stop, I prefer 2.8
