As ever, these things are worth as much as you, the buyer, is prepared to pay. It isn't actually an ultra-rare item and if it's in the original Canomatic mount the aperure control works back-to-front and it won't function automatically on the later bodies. I think it could be used on NEX or M4/3 bodies, although the diaphragm actuating lever may be long enough to foul the adapter mount. Not sure about that, though . . .
I think the last one I saw in the UK sold on eBay for about £50 - $75 approx.
Having said that, it's still an interesting lens. Zoom lenses from the late 50s and early 60s are indeed quite rare and I recall it getting good reviews way back then. Good luck with it ! _________________ Stephen
