Steinheil Quinon Temptation!

I could not tear myself away from looking on eBay, as I would love to have a fast 135!

Would I be foolish to purchase this lens for the Buy It Now Price? Will there be better prices down the line, or does this lens show up rarely?

A friend in my camera club has the only other copy I've ever seen, and his images are purely luscious, with bokeh that is to die for. He encourages me to acquire the lens.

Do any of you have experience with this lens?

(Am I doing something wrong on the "EBAY" shortcut link? I try to copy and paste, but it comes out wrong).

Perhaps price is right, because I never seen in black and with M42 mount.

Perhaps, Attila! But I will wait, maybe it will show in aluminum. No sense spending too much. Besides, there will ALWAYS be another lens to catch my eye! That is the problem! Laughing And, of course, my budget is already somewhat stretched this Christmas season. Wink That probably won't stop me if I see a bargain though!

A few months ago there was a Brand New In Box Tele Quinar 135/2.8 I had my eye on - it went for 93GBP if I recall. That was in aluminium M42, not black, and attracted a deal of interest, mostly from the collecting types, I'd imagine, for others that had been used were going for much less.

I guess I bought mine (aluminium,MINT, exakta) around 50 GBP.Captain Jack said from this lens this is the best 135mm lens for Exakta. Smile Hmm this is not too bad isn't it ?
