While I was in HK I saw this aluminium finish lens in a shop with no price tag. It looked in mint condition, I didn't check the mount. When I asked the price I was told HK$6,000 (about £550) which surprised me. Anyone know why this lens is so much more expensive than the 1.9/58mm Primoplan? I didn't know there were any Meyer lenses that expensive.

... and you were in Asia! Old German lenses can go for a lot of money there.
But actually, this price is ridiculous, IMHO.

Thanks. I suppose if it's that rare a rich collector might be willing to pay that kind of money, but not me. How does the IQ compare to the Pancolar 80?

Anyway, I like the bokeh on this picutre:

The OOF lights - they aren't ovoid (like on Biotar, Helios and Jupiter), but rounded!
