Hi Cesar My M40 was/is a bit worn but the glass was fine. I paid $A100 for it, at a retail second hand shop (Grace's Camera for those who live in Sydney). Usually their prices are a bit high.
I've seen it on ebay finishing at around $A200, which is a bit surprising. It's a nice lens but nothing spectacular. Looks lovely on an ME-S or MX I think I much prefer the DA40. BTW, I'm still waiting for some slides I took using the DA40 on a PZ-1. If they are any way interesting, I'll post them to the list.
