Yes and ? . I don't really see where your point is, If you think that the price is too high, well, simply don't buy it (someone else will), no reason to complain about it. Vintage and legacy lenses prices generally tend to rise since there is a brand new market for them: Mirrorless and affordable FF, add to that the video enthusiast .... Keep in mind that legacy lenses in good shape have limited supply.

Lots of bidders on both lenses, hype or not - that's the market price. I'd better sell my 55 / 2.2

Looks like oil on the blades, other than that looks good, that price seems fair for 24/2.8 in M42 or any other mount that can adapt easily to EOS.

+1, maybe a bit on the high side, but not extreme.
Also consider that ebc fujinons are less common than takumars - for example - or other lenses from major japanese makers of the time, and they have a (well deserved, if you ask me) good reputation.
I had that 2.8/35 and I liked it very much.

The price looks ok to me. They are produced in much less numbers than the other big brands.

If you think it's too much money, don't look at the Leica R 28 Elmarit version 2.
But then again you have an impressive collection of f1.2 lenses, any hype there?

It's not hype, it's market. If the lens is overpriced, the market will eventually correct itself. |
