[and since the ad is posted, here's a link to it,.. .-]
hi
before i start to actively announce my dr, i need to do a little research. i checked ebay completed, and prices seem all over the place, so i thought i'd ask here hoping there was someone who knows the market better than i do, who could give me a good starting point. mine comes with goggles, i would say it's in excellent condition (not that far from mint actually, save for a small bruise mark on the focusing barrel). mechanically and optically excellent, no haze or cleaning marks. rear cap, the correct shade (12585 if i remember the code correctly) and leica uv filter. no front cap.
this is not a for sale ad. i will not reply to pm's regarding sale, until i eventually put up a for sale ad here (and then i'll replace this paragraph with a link to the ad, should the thread have any sort of activity). i'm simply trying to get some info about what i got, $ wise.
thanks in advance.
best.

I bought one recently on photo.net for just under $600. Lens had matching goggles and is in good shape cosmetically but not perfect. Glass is perfect. I think I'm going to get the lens CLA'd.

Interesting. I didn't know that. Mine is 2235xxx so that may explain the super glass.
well, mine is an early model, 1.56xxxx actually, so $7-800 hardly applies. it's quite nice though, glass is excellent in fact, so perhaps i might be able to get an ok price for it.. thanks all for your input - and come fighting for it when i've shot some decent pics of it and posted the ad ,-)
