But what were prices in Moscow? Rugift list both the 16/2.8 and a 20/3.5 at US $149. http://www.rugift.com/photocameras/lenses.htm I ask because, at least on used lenses, the difference seems to be large. I see the 50/1.5 Zeiis copy in Leica mount on Ebay with "buy it now" price anywhere from $50 to $150, but one person on photo.net says he paid $5 for his in Moscow. -- Sandy Harris Quanzhou, Fujian, China -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
