Hello Fellow RFF-ers,

I recently sold my IIc, thinking I would use the proceeds to put towards a III, but unfortunately I just can't do it right now. (Bought too much Nikon RF gear 😉) I can't decide whether to hold on to my beautiful 5cm f/2 Summitar for later down the road when I could get a body, or sell it.. Mine is in beautiful condition. No cosmetic damage, other than a few, very fine cleaning marks on the glass that aren't noticeable, excpet for on very close inspection. There is no haze, fungus, or separation. And no oil on the blades.. Any idea how much it would go for on ebay? Or what a reasonable asking price would be? (Not even sure if I could part with it. I've only shot two or three rolls with it, unfortunately, but absolutely loved the shots/sharpness/contrast)


Thank you for any help.

Here it is: Including red-velvet-lined front lens cap

You'll regret it if you get rid of it, particularly if you shoot wide open. I love uncorrected lenses and their bokeh.

Also, they're getting harder to find in such nice shape. Keep it until your death bed and then be buried with it. 🙂

haha I keep thinking that.. It's a beautiful lens and I've loved all the shots taken with it. I just know I'm not going to be able to get a body to use it on for some time.. It just sits on the shelf (somehow not collecting dust.. I guess I still play with it often wishing I could use it 🙄)
