I've paid closer to market value on my stuff: ( 'Cause I don't wanna wait! )
P67 w/prism = $500 200m F4 = $325 45mm F4 = $600 135mm F4 Macro = $425 300mm F4 = $625 75mm F4.5 = $350 Grip = $80 Strap = $50 Tube Set = $100 As you can see, the body/prism is just the tip of the iceberg.... The 55,90,and 105 will set me back another $1000 or so, but I'll have all the gaps filled from 45mm to 300mm by then. Total outlay? $4k But I'm sure I can get a good percentage of it back if/when I ever decide to sell. Collecting screwmount 35mm sure was cheaper per lens, but this P67 stuff really is a step above.
