HU: Nikkor-S.C LTM at KEH

I bought a 50/1.4 S-mount in perfect condition here about a month ago for 200USD and a nice 105 s for 225 from same seller, then grabbed one of those nice adapters from venezula.

Granted the LTM is very nice, but they do seem to have gone through the roof.
 
Something I don't get:

The M9 thing, I understand.
But for the M4/3: why would I pay very high on an ltm lens when I can adapt pretty much zillions of other 50mm lenses that go for peanuts, some are absolutely great, certainly considering that corner sharpness is not an issue.

This is with a LTM Nikkor 50mm f1.4 (#328xxx). For an old lens (50+ years) it is very good. Some flare in the upper bright area, but then the latitude was huge, foreground in deep shadow and bright sunlight at the top. Considerably better than a Version I Summilux 50 and appraoching even the performance of the later version II Summilux.
Leica M2, Kodak 5231 (Kodaks +X move stock - now sadly gone) developed in D96 (Kodaks D76 version for the moviestocks - mainly improved mid-tones and shadow detail).
