WTB: 50 mm 'lux....

[BigSteveG]

In black finish only. prefer 43mm, but will consider 46mm...anyone know of any NOS units lating around? I had a source....2 months ago they offered itr $1,500. Npw they've had it updated for use w/ M8 and are asking $2,200....screw them!!!

KEH has a 43mm 'Lux for $899. BGN condition, but I wouldn't really worry about that considering their hyper-conservativeness in grading.

 

[BigSteveG]

I've noticed it. Do you think 899 is fair? I see chrome models for 550 at the camera show....

But the chrome 'lux is olddddd. At least the 43 is slightly newer.

There's one (3rd version, E43) on ebay for $811, 1d13h left here.

And a E46, no bids starting at $1550, 7 days left, here. Probably just a little overpriced.

I honestly haven't priced 50 'luxes lately, so I'm not entirely sure what is "fair," though only you know how much you're really willing to pay fair or not.

just found one at Tamarkin....they want a grand for it.....they're such thieves...

they're such thieves...

just some perspective, their office is on park avenue in manhattan. Their rent is not cheap and they dont sell 10,000 cameras a month so...

the 50lux 43filter ring size goes for about ~800USD on ebay
this is what i have seen in the last 2 months or so (more if CLA) less if the cosmetics suck
