Re: The one that got away

I was watching that auction. I was troubled by the 85 being described 
as an M 85/1.8. Are you sure it wasn't an M 85/2? If I'm not mistaken, 
I think all the other lenses were M versions.

I was the high bidder until one minute before the end of the auction.  
 The winner was a dealer, so watch for the individual items to 
re-appear on eBay.  I suspect he overpaid, however.  The items besides 
the 85mm are probably not worth more than $600 sold separately.   The 
85mm sells for about $300, but even that won't give him much profit 
for all the trouble he's going to.
