Which raises a question: Are there any really stellar manual primes that go for paltry sums along the lines of the M 50/2?
not completely sure how to parse your question, but there are certainly bargains on old equipment, essentially, in capitalist terms, you look for inefficiencies in the market and lubricate them; it takes some patience and a nose for quality; among the lenses i use the most, my Macro-Takumar 50/4, SMC A 50/1.7, and Sigma EX Macro 105/2.8 (which i mostly manual focus) were all edge-market finds, and the latter at $100 cost more than the other two together; you won't find them at the prices i paid on eBay, but you might on craigslist, a thrift store or a yard sale
