Two years ago I'd have taken you up on it.

Anyone have $500 they might want to trade me for my -A version?
Plus shipping, of course.

He is on the right planet if he can find a serious collector: That's
not the standard 15/3.5 like I have - it's the very rare early version
with the aspherical element. According to Boz only about 100 were
made.
If I was claiming that, I would have included a picture of the serial
number - which just happens to be one of those listed on Boz's page.
If I were claiming that I'd:
* Make it perfectly clear in the text that this was the extremely rare
lens with the aspherical element
* Explain the history of how they came to be made
* Describe how to tell the difference between the standard 15/3.5 and
the rare version
* Provide a link to Boz's page documenting all this
* NOT CREATE THE EBAY AD IN RAVING 1996-STYLE NOOBIE HTML!!!!!!
One of his photos *does* show the distance scale calibration that
gives this away as the rare lens, but you have to go researching on
your own to find that out.
$2999.00 is overpriced, even for this lens, but he does have a "make
offer" option as well ;-)
