Is this what's we've come to? Cheap 5cm f1.1 lenses?

Ebay 361992443285, June 6, $2600

Ebay 162556211890, June 23, $2967

I guess "if you got one, go use it". Might not be worth selling.

prices are down as the demand from China has fallen off a cliff.

A little unclear on exactly what about this offends you.
The "cheap " price, that might put this in reach of the common folk, as opposed to the elitist collectors, or is it the dismay that these investments in rare lens just might not pay off?

[splitimageview]

type this into the URL and add the number at the end (replacing the xxxxx)

[Chubberino]

thanks!

yeah, I don't see what the issue is.

BIN lots are generally overpriced twaddle. auctions better represent the immediate demand market for the most part.

I suppose it will offend those that paid overpriced price in the hope of selling it higher (meaning, buying it as an investment/collective item).

I am overcome with terrible sadness at their plight!
Perhaps now those of us who'd actually use these things might actually get a chance to do so at reasonable cost.

I guess the OP overpaid.

 

[tunalegs]

$3000 lens... cheap?

 

[Huss]

$3000 lens... cheap?

I guess if someone paid $5000 for one.

 

[Mudman]

All I need is for them and the m240 to drop another $1000 lol

 

[mpaniagua]

$3000 lens... cheap?

I suppose its all relative. For me, cheap stop at 200-300 dlls 😛

Beyon that, its all about "Worth the price and convince my wife" and "Get it and my wife skin me alive"
