How much to pay for a canadian 35mm summicron in this state?

[tomperson]

Third version summicron, Leitz Canada. According to the seller, everything's in proper working condition, no fungus. I can see some dents in the lens body and hood, they are pretty evident. The seller wants $350. Is this a "good" price or a "normal" price for a lens in this state?

Thanks!

It looks just like mine. Thirty or more years ago I bought it second hand for $125 so I'd say it's a very good price today, and if it includes the front cap and hood then even better!

That's 50% of a "good" price. Even if you pay $200 for a CLA it is still a smoking deal.

Some poor seller/lucky buyer traded a nice black Hexar AF for $150 on the large format forum this morning. I think it lasted 90 seconds.

Heheheh, thanks for your help guys! Now I'll have to convince my girl that this is some sort of an "excellent one time deal"...which she's heard pretty much one too many times now...
