Looking for Oly/Canon FD/FL 55 1,2 or Minolta/Nikkor 50 1,2

Hi there,

Can't make ebay tell the difference between 1:2 and 1.2 when searching, so am getting a bit of a headache. If it can tell the difference and you know how to phrase the question, do tell.

At any rate I'm looking for one of these: Olympus OM 55 1,2, Nikkor AI / AIS 50 1,2, Canon FL/FD 55 1,2 and Minolta MD 50 1,2.

Typical prices on ebay lately (not counting the significantly lower UK only auction prices) have been L250 for the Canon, L250+ for the Nikkor, very typically L250 for the OM and L200 for the MD and that's what I'm willing to pay.

Cheers

I just bought an FD SSC 85/1.2 from http://mkoptics.net/m/index.php?cPath=5
They have a good selection of f1.2 normals.

So they do, and they are even in Holland (EU).

Still, let me conclude the thread, for the car has developed a need for attention and as such I'll first see how far the Rokkor 58 1,4 can take me.

Posting too late I guess, but when you begin your search anew, use quotation marks on eBay for specific searches. I just tried (Olympus 55 "1.2") without the parenthesis and only 10 entries showed up with that specific lens. Of course, you might have to try " 1,2" as well, but it will prevent 1:2 from showing up
