Canon LTM just bought this Canon 50 LTM

[jfserejo]

I have just bought this from eBay Canada: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250243807205&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.ca%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm37%26satitle%3D250243807205%26category0%3D%26fvi%3D1

It seems it was a good price according to Meleica list guide. The blades aren't showed in the pictures, so I will have to trust in the seller - that guarantee that there is no oil...

Anyone knows this seller? I can´t wait to try this lens 🙂

Regards,
Joao

I've never bought from that seller, but I have noticed his auctions on quite a few occasions. And I have been tempted by his stuff more than once 😀 . It looks as though you got a good deal.

 

[jfserejo]

When the lens arrive I will confirm that Rafael 🙂 Hope so!

I concur with Roland, good price on that lens. I have not purchased anything from coltur75, but seller often has nice gear for sale. Good luck!

 

[back alley]

iirc, i have bought from him before and w/o problem.

he has been around for a long time and has had lots of canon gear for sale.

and everyone knows that canadians are fine to deal with 😉

Congrats! That's a great price. Cosmetically that looks very clean -- hope the blades and glass are perfect for you too! The 1.4/50 is a lovely lens -- great OOF rendering imo.

 

[jfserejo]

Joe, thats a nice thing to know! 🙂

 

[Sonnar Brian]

It's a great lens, and the price is what they went for several years ago! You got a good deal.

A good deal

A good deal

I got the same lens - also on eBay - for $250. Very nice clean glass, very sharp lens. The helicoid is a bit sticky and I'll have to relube it eventually.
You got the best price I've seen - if only by a small margin!

Alex is great to deal with.
I always talk to him at the Toronto Camera show.

A friend just got one lens recently and the description is totally way off. It had fungus and marks when it was described as not. Also, to be sure, I ordered the 50mm f1.2 and hood and was charged $70 for postage! This is the most anyone has charged me for an eBay transaction. Of course, for using Paypal, he charged me another 4%.

I will see what the condition of the lens is when it comes (perfect glass is described, that is, no haze, fungus, scratches, marks, separation).

Great Price!

I just sold a beautiful EX++/Mint Minus one last week for $300 w/caps and it had a full CLA - it was a sacrifice for $$$ to buy my IIIC K Grey this weekend - but it went to a great new owner, thanks Leo! 😀

thats another reason not to use paypal. but that shipping charge is just out of line. i cant imagine even overnight shipping COD costing that, let alone someones time to pack it.

I have bought a couple lenses from this seller too. Both were in excellent condition as described.

Lens is: Item number: 260236373650
Hood is: Item number: 260236373650

I'm overseas, and combined shipping is really expensive. From the US, it costs me only about $35 max.

 

[jfserejo]

The shipping cost +4% is a high, but I'm overseas and I was the one that choose PayPal - the seller offer alternatives that where cheaper (overseas tracking is expensive everywhere, i sopose).

(...) You got the best price I've seen - if only by a small margin!

🙂 It seems that in that days there where many distracted people!

Just picked one up from someone who bought it from jiri on ebay. He didn't want it and sold it to me for $150. It's a great user lens, for sure. Nice properties. I have a few examples here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/januaryman/sets/72157604399970206/

I think he stated that for Paypal, I had to contact him first. I have to check, but US$70 postage for a lens and a hood is very expensive. Actually, it is a rip off. I will not be surprised if the shipping is actually way less. Also, what is the use of stating combine shipping when it actually means "Pay More" sucker?
