No kidding! As of this post the bid is under $150 with 19.5 hours to go. I've seen that filter alone sell for nearly half that much. Guesses on final high bid?

Well, after all the Canon is the best-built of the fast screw-mount lensesLook at it now. They are getting more expensive. Not a sleeper anymore
Roland.
. BTW - did you see what that LTM Tokyo Nikkor S.C went for? All the more reason to look for a nice J-3.

Haven't seen one in this price range for a long time....
That's actually not the original Canon filter. Still, it's an elusive 40mm...

A Canon IVSB2 with 50/1.5 sold today on eBay for $406. I threw a bid on it for entertainment value. In any case the combo looked to be in good shape, and the body is one of the rarer permutations of the Canon IV series. Actually was more interested in the body than the lens. Maybe I should have bid higher

^ I agree. An un-molested example is a fine thing. Hits far above it's weight, IMHO.
People deserve to use these lenses. I'd hate to think of a handful hitting the trash one day because the guy at the local photo shop claims "they aren't worth much."

seen that one on the bay.
it would have been worth it for 203 dollars apiece.
even if the camera was missing the rf trim ring

Wahoo, I'm interested in a J3. Would have sent you a PM but your settings do not allow so. Therefore, this way. PM welcome, if you fancy.

Yes I saw that and can't believe that it went for that! The 85/2 is one of my favorites - I would have bid on that one as well, but I figured I already have one so why? D'oh!
Wahoo

CLE-RF, I must have give the wrong impression because although I do have few J3's at the moment non are for sale, of course situations can change and under these circumstances I would of couse contact you, once again, thanks for your interest.
My sincere apologies if my earlier post was misleading.

Dammit! That looks shweeeeet. I'm sure my bidding would have only raised the price sold at, though.... (he reasoned).
