summitar 50mm

[FrankS]

Is a Summitar (1950) described as 9/10 for $250 a good deal?

Bought a post-war Summitar last weekend for $175. Optically flawless (which is hard to find in a lens of that vintage), but aperatures are tight.

Seems a little high to me, but the condition might justify the price. An honest 9/10 is outstanding condition for it's age.

Seems high to me too; mine cost $170 about three months ago & the glass is in unmarked condition.

The prices being asked/gotten for a Summitar have come as a shock to me. I wasn't aware that they had inflated that much! Live & learn.
