I did some quick completed listings searches on ebay and it seems that both the 50 and the 35 go for $350-400 used. Is there anyone on this list that is looking for a DFA 50 macro? It's really a sweet lens, but I've got a bazillion 50mm lenses so I rarely use it, and the 35 would be a much better length for me. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
