Spotted this and it seemed a bit over the top.

That's what happens when you have the only copy available for sale.

Konica Hexanon 60mm F1.2 lens is offered in the original version with L-Mount back in 1955 or the revised modern version with LTM Mount in 1999


This is the earlier version which rarely ever comes up for sale as they are all in collectors display cases as their prized centerpiece.


The newer version was a limited batch of 800 and sell for $6000 - $10,000

The prices being asked for obscure, often second-tier, lenses is ridiculous. The one lens I "treated" myself to is the Nikkor-SC 5cm F1.5, paid $1500 for it with an early Canon III attached to it. David Douglas Duncan's 5cm F1.5 Nikkor is from the same batch, within 15 or so of mine. Other "obscure" lenses- an very early Simlar 5cm F1.5 in Leica mount. One of a kind lenses- I've adapted myself. I suspect those sellers would ask astronomical prices for lenses that set me back $50 to $100 or so.

Maybe I'll open up an online shop.

Those? Wink

The currently asked prices are pure fantasy. Market value is around 8-10.000 depending on type and condition
