FWIW, I have a bid in on it that I think is reasonable. If I win the
auction I'll probably just resell the body, likely with one of my
"extra" 50mm SMC M 1.7 lenses to recover as much of the outlay as
possible. Hopefully it won't approach the price that the ME with the actual
Pentax f/1.2 seems likely to hit.
