Well, I don't see scratches in the previews. The reserve price would be OK just for the Distagon 18 and 35 alone with their hoods (the hood of 18 costs a fortune).

Quick calculation with realistic average prices:

AX = 400 Euros
RTS II = 150 Euros
Distagon 18mm = 500 Euros
Distagon 25mm = 300 Euros
Distagon 1.4/35 = 400 Euros
Planar 1.4/85 = 350 Euros
Makro-Planar 60mm = 250 Euros
Tele-Tessar 3.5/200 = 200 Euros
Mirotar 500mm = 700 Euros

the total makes 3250 Euros, realistic price, and does not include the bellows, accessories, and case value.

OK, but the reserved price does not mean that it goes for this money, Orio.
It might end much higher.

Still, you're right. Anything below €1500,- would be a bargain!

You didn't accepted scratched wide angles so I am not sure about 18 and 28mm value others should ok.

Correction: anything below 2500 Euros would be a bargain.

That is a bargain if you consider what you get, but it is an awful lot of money in one deal.

Fantastic bargain. Nothing else to say other than congratulations to the winner.

Good for Florent. I think Orio demonstrated quite clearly what a great bargain that was - if you could rustle up the dough.

Funny enough, I was looking for Orio's Contax AX review here and found this topic Embarassed

Thanks for all kind comments.

I put a sniper on it for 2370 € and it goes a little bit less.
Did it for several reason, the main one is that the seller is 10 minutes away from me by car, so no problem to check the lot with him, have a nice discuss & a drink...

For sure it's a lot of money - actually it should be in one bid all I have already spent in manual focus lenses & cameras so far.

I will have to spent hours & hours to sell most of my actual lenses collection, it's heart breaking but I have to make choices Rolling Eyes

Actually I have already the Zeiss Distagon 2,8/25 and Tele-Tessar 3,5/200 so they will be put for sale first.

Zeiss magic, for sure... it may have blind me !


Cheers
Florent

Florent, congratulations! This is a fantastic set!!
If I had had this amount accessible, I would have bid on this as well.

Well done!
