Sorry no samples, just wondering what is a good price for these if they are working, but lens has some hairline scratches from cleaning?

Thank you.

Wonderful camera, wonderful lens. In working condition, I'd drop $50.00 US without hesitation. I think I got mine for less.

Thanks.
That seems like a very good price. What is the highest price that would still be considered good?

I'm selling some similar stuff if anybody's interested.

I take it from these replies that this is not a highly sought after lens.

The FL's just aren't in demand like the newer FD's owing to age and evolved optical design. The 50/1.4ii is a gem of a lens though for anyone who has ever used it. Same optical design as its successor FD lens and because it didn't have the FD auto-aperture, it's much less likely to break down on you. Built like a tank and handles beautifully.

But older and believed to have inferior coatings, so it won't demand the same price as a comparable FD.

Thank you for this information.
