HU: UK 35 summilux non-asph and summicron asph

[wintoid]

I've spend a month or so trying to decide on an additional 35mm lens, and in doing so have been looking at lots of online stores. I finally decided on a Nokton in silver, and immediately got that "I bet loads of nice lenses will now appear on the secondhand market" feeling after ordering it from Robert White.

Inevitably, I checked http://www.mifsuds.com/shpricesal.htm#leicarf and found a cron asph for £599 and an old summilux for £399.

Those are good prices, right, especially for a dealer? No connection with seller etc etc.

How much is 599 pounds in US$ ?

Too bad they only ship to UK/Ireland and do not accept Paypal....pitty

www.xe.com gives mid-market exchange rates; a pound is currently just over 2USD

Bear in mind, UK prices include VAT, which is 17.5%

Thanks Wintoid - got the Summilux incl. original hood for £349 (good optics and cosmetics but could do with a basic CLA (which I'll do myself), hence £50 off). 😀

It's a black post-2167xxx serial number version, which is meant to have improved coatings.

When the lux has good glass, that's an awesome price! Congrats!
