It has a dented filter ring and cosmetic roughing, but seems otherwise clean. Shame the seller doesn't offer more pictures of the glass.

No connection with the seller.

Wow. Its a terrific lens and that filter thread can almost certainly be fixed. Seller has 100% rating. Looks like a good buy.

(I have no connection with the seller either.)

Same thing that I thought.
Shame that I'm broke, and don't have a paypal account (the seller requires immediate payment).

Wow. Wow. Wow.

Lots of people surely would like to get their hands on this one. I would have six months ago; in a heart-beat. I have the next version, though, the E46 (the one right before the ASPH version); same formula, except mine focuses down to 0.7 meters, and this one to 1m.

Wow.

Geeze, this is so tempting. However, I have two fine 50s, but f/1.4 would be nice.

Can't really afford it, though. Just got the ZM 25/2.8...

I am very, very tempted. Another glass of wine and a little encouragement from my colleagues could force me to do the deed. 😱 😱

Buy it. Just do it.

Of course, I know nothing about the values of such lenses, and that dent is scary, but for $550, you probably won't beat it.

I'm drinking a Shiraz from South Africa right now. Can I pour you a glass? 😉

Thanks for the offer, but I'm working on a Napa Valley Cabernet, just thinking about that Summilux bokeh.

You know you're sliding down a slippery slope here, right? A little cab, another sip and another ... and suddenly its PayPal time! 😉

 

[peter_n]

Gone. What a surprise... 😉
