Hey everybody gotta easy question; my friend is selling his nearly new planar for $425 i am wonder if that is a good price and how much they normally are. Thanks

 

[Krosya]

its a good price. usualy they sell a bit higher. More like 500-600usd.

thats quite a good price i believe. i paid around the same for mine. They retail new for about 550-600 i think. Possibly higher? not sure.

Yummy, good price on a good lens. I have a Planar 50, its great, here is a thread I did on it: http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48816

Good deal, $100 less than I paid new a couple years ago. Snap it up! Matsuiyastore has them new for $598, and PopFlash has a used one for the same price...

$598 is used; $668 new...

Right you are... The new price has risen quite a bit since I got mine. 😱

Beautiful pictures! The planar is clearly a great lens, but it is your eye which does the trick. Thanks for sharing!

What is this wobble that i've seen mentioned quite a few times (on different sites)? How can i tell if my friends copy has this problem?

Local pro shop in Philadelphia has one for $485, so it sounds like a good price.

I paid 400$ for mine and I consider myself VERY lucky...
