Hi All,
I've been tryiing to get my hands on a 90 f2 ASPH, 35 1.4 Lux ASPH and 50 1.4 Lux ASPH for a week now, I got the 90 and 35 as they're readily available but have been having a hard time finding a 50. Somebody local may have one for sale but since I don't have any point of reference what does a 50mm Summilux ASPH go for used in good condition?
Thanks,
Sam

I might be putting up a Black paint LHSA 50 asph Lux that is in new condition, with hood, case etc. Did a test roll with it, but took my lighter and cheaper ZM planar to Afghanistan and so it has not been used apart from a few dozen frames to test it at home. I am still in two minds about selling it, as I cannot get over what a beautifully solid and well made lens it is (not to mention stellar performance), but if you are interested let me know. Price would be a little more than listed above but not madly so (and certainly cheaper than a new LHSA/regular one. Kinda splurged on some other gear and know I have to sell it but trying to pull myself out of this state of denial. Can you sense the conflict 
It is an sbsolutely delicious lens on BP bodies of course, but I dont know if I can reconcile the expense over the ZM when I could put it towards a 0.58 body...oh, no I mean pay off the other gear I just bought. [dig, dig,dig, whimper]

If you want the best built and best corrected 50/1.4, this is it, cost be damned. In comparison, the 50/1.5 Sonnar is slightly less flare prone but rather soft wide open until about f/2.8 where it starts to get sharp.

My Leica M Lens Guide has used (exc condition ) at $ 2200

but the market is VERY thin for these lenses... I have seen many - "like new" around $ 2400-2700.

Nice, thanks so much for the link, like the other posters mentioned it is a pita to find one of these guys.

The one that Marc linked to is chrome and so is of brass construction. A little heavier than the black but probably worth it. The lens has a UV filter on the front and the price is excellent - looks like a good buy.
