There is likely other stuff too, but I think part of it for used lenses comes down to rarity. There are just soooo many nifty-fifty's out there. I think the 135mm difference is because the designs are simpler and they are usually slower. I may be talking out my hat though.

On a side note, can anyone tell me why 85mm lenses are so much more expensive than than 50 and 135?


Numbers produced?

Obviously it is rarity. 50/55mm and 135mm are the most common lenses available.
Small telelenses are for me very usefull.
I like very much the range 85/105 on FF, I have no APS-C camera but I can imagine that I would prefer a 50/55mm with such a camera.
