This calls for a betting pool!

My guess is that this lens will go for just under $2k. What's that in Euros, about 1.600 Eur?

As much as I want one, I don't want one _that_ much. Somewhere in the world, there's probably someone who wants it a lot more than I do. 🙁

Whats so special with that lens ? You can buy any number of fantastic cameras + 135mm lens for that price !

Well, part of the appeal is the camera that it goes with. There's no shortage of admiration for the Bronica RF645. The most common gripe for this camera system is that the 135mm lens is so hard to find... without it, the system lacks a long lens option.

I was wrong about the auction price, by 2X... it went for 800 Euros, about $1k.

The 135 needs to be matched to the individual camera viewfinder. Is it true that only Robert White in the UK does that?
