Thanks Ari. Good price for a mint LTM 105/2.5; I suppose with this price, one can take a risk with the seller's not-so-stellar feedback.

The lens is awesome. If risk is reasonable, go for it.

Raid, don't tell me you are tempted by this lens....I am not in the market -- I own the LTM, S-Mount, and F-Mount of this lens.

I have such a lens in ltm and as slr lens.

I am very wary of sellers with feedback less than about 99.5%. Although in this case his poor rating is mitigated by the fact that he only has 22 transactions - a couple of poor results could easily result in a low % feedback rate. But in general it tells me something may be wrong. Especially when the photos look as if they were taken through the bottom of a coke bottle. This also always makes me wonder what is being hidden. Personally as tempting as it is I think I would pass.

This is one of those instances where I am glad that I already have that lens in LTM; otherwise, the price would have been tempting, but ultimately, like Peter, I probably would have been scared off.

Agree with you 100% Peter. Sometimes, if the prices are low enough for the item, I would risk it; but given the low feedback, I question the interpretation of "mint".

Aww, I wish I'd seen this earlier. 🙂

I question the interpretation of "mint".

This is standard practice for me, with any ebay auction, regardless of feedback 🙂

Isn't everything on ebay "mint?"

Point well taken Robert.
