I would hope there isn't someone mad enough to pay this amount to get the 135mm lens, especially considering the RF645s aren't going that well on ebay-uk at the moment!

In case the sellers sees sense and lowers the price - for those looking later it is on for £2,600 which by my maths makes it over $4,500!

wow - that's nearly $5K

Well, the 135 IS one of the rarest lenses ever made, and the RF645 IS a truly divine camera.

Interesting price. If it goes for $5k . . .

Woohoo! I'm sitting on a fortune! 🙄

I don't think we are sitting on fortunes guys. Someone was recently selling a whole RF645 kit with the 45mm,65mm and 100mm and flash and only got around £700. I reckon the only items in demand are the 135mm and 100mm lenses, and these are only of interest to people who already have an RF645, so mostly don't want to buy another. I don't reckon there is much chance of this seller getting the price he is asking, and he would probably do better splitting the system up, although I am aware the 135mm has probably been calibrated for this camera alone. For my money that is why the 100mm was preferable to the 135 mm for most of us.

I expect that if I sell mine, I'll sell the body and 65mm lens first, only selling the 45mm and 100mm lenses after I know I won't be stuck with just a body.

It is a nice camera, though. I should use it more....
