Nikkor 10.5cm f/2.5 and 5cm f/1.4 pricing

[lattiboy]

Hi all,

I'm getting out of the photo game for the forseeable future and was hoping you knowledgeable folks could help me out with some sales advice.

I have the 2 above mentioned Nikon lenses, but I'm having a tough time figuring out a reasonable price for them. I also have the Russian-made Frankenstein NEX>Contax internal adapter.

My problem is the prices for both lenses seem all over the place! The 5cm especially is infuriating. I'm guessing the 10.5cm is worth around $350-450, but again, I'm not even sure about that.

I have some pictures of them in a picasa album here of the two lenses.

(Sorry for crappy pictures, I don't have my good lighting setup anymore, so it's all the RX100)

If this is inappropriate, please let me know and I'll delete it/move it elsewhere.

See at ebay the completed auctions for these two lenses, and check with antiquecameras for the market values. This should give you a good starting point. Reduce the asking price if the lens is not clean or has optical problems. Raise the asking price if lens is exceptionally clean and/or received recently a CLA from someone known.

The 105 is in Leica screwmount with an m adapter so is worth more than the Nikon rf mount one . I looked at your images , the lens has some wear to the ridges of the black finish so that does effect the value . If the glass is nice you can probably get $250 - $325
The 50 is in Nikon mount , same edge wear . $125 - $200

The 105 should sell pretty easy since it is a great lens and will fit digital m9

Hi Lattiboy - You've gotten a couple of nice suggestions, perhaps there will be more.

Because we have no buying nor selling allowed in the message boards, the "how much could I sell it for" subject matter can get tricky. I'd just urge discretion on both sides of the question in what is said or suggested in the thread. So far so good I think, Thanks!
