Bids are picking up now, it passed the € 1,000 mark this afternoon. Oddly enough, fotoMagazin lists its market value at € 559. Highest sale on eBay Germany ever of this lens was € 2.811. This is scary... if only there was a way of knowing which lenses will turn out to be such a great investement... Too bad Ecke
