About $350-$400 for a R2 in good condition. The 50 Nokton will set you back about $250-$280 in similarly good condition.

thanks terence. so would a range of $550-$680 be a fair price for a set like this?

 

[Terence T]

Yep, I'd pay about $600 for that set with the grip though I personally don't find the grip entirely useful, it's too small.

You might want to consider the R2a for a tad more, the build quality and aperture priority mode is worth the difference. I hate the rewind lever on the R2, small, flimsy and hard to use.

ok, thanks for the additional info.
