How much for a Hexanon 50/1.2?

[stefan_dinu]

Do you have any ideea of the price of the Limited Hexanon 50mm f1.2. I am planning to buy a Limited kit just for the body and I might lose the lens for some extra money.
Does someone knows abotu the market price for these beauties? Thank you!

They sell pretty high, from what I have seen. I, personally, wouldn't pay that much, or I'd have one by now. Last couple Hexanons 50/1.2 I came across on ebay sold for around $ 1800-2100. I'd pay $1200-1300 for one in perfect condition max, but I'm yet to find one yet. Plus I'd rather have a 60/1.2 - I like it a little better. But thats me - I'm sure you can sell 50/1.2 for over $1600 easily.

I think the most recent mint condition 50/1.2 M-Hexanon sold for over $2200 on eBay. Pretty crazy price, but not out of line considering the frenzied buying of the Noctilux lenses of late. I'm pretty surprised to hear of someone wanting to keep the body and sell the lens; I would think it to be more common to have the reverse situation. The Hexar RF Limited camera body is very nice, but the lens is just as nice and perhaps even more coveted by some. And that whole production with the blue velvet and satin presentation case is tastefully done indeed!

Matsuiyastore has a mint RF limited set with a bin price of US$3218 for sale at the moment. If the lens is going for $2200 on its own, this is a damn good price. And as a black RF owner, I must admit the chrome version is gorgeous. Alas, the price of Christmas with a wife and 3 daughters these days.

I'm willing to take the lens off you.

I'd be hesitant to pay more for the KM 50/1.2 than I might for the Konica LTM 60/1.2. These have been going for under $2000 - when they show up. This price puts the premium for the HRF limited body at somewhere between $400 and $600, which makes sense to me.
