It's not me, but I think the BIN will be done quickly.

BIn is 600 USD !?

Nobody buy this lens even for half I guess.

Isn't that one of the fastest lens on the market?

Not the fastest lens, there is 0.95 and 1.0 lenses and all other maker also made 1.2 lenses.

Click here to see on Ebay

I meant, however, it's said this is one of the finest 1.2 lenses, right? (I cannot imagine how such a fastest lens like the 0.95 would perform...Thanks ofr the info Attila)

I think Minolta MD is one of the cheapest 1.2 lens I don't have personal experience with it.

Finest ones are not cheap at all Carl Zeiss , Leica, Voigtlander are finest and cost above 3000 USD.

I have experience with Nikkor, Pentax, Cosina from these Pentax is best one to me.

Minolta MC 58/1.2 is famous for its very nice perceived bokeh, however, it is not as sharp as a Pentax or some of the other f1.2 lenses.

BIN = $6xx is not cheap!
I can get one locally for approx $350 ~ 400, but it still think it is too much.

350-400 USD is Nikkor, Olympus , Pentax price.

I think Minolta lenses are cheaper all time due no DSLR for them.
I estimate 200-250 USD maximum for this lens market value.

You're correct ... I can get the Minolta MC/MD for approx usd200 ~ 250 locally, and then i need to pay another usd100~150 to have these converted Wink ...

That is wasn't too smart to convert , to buy a Nikkor would better deal.

You haven't been watching the 1.2's. The 58/1.2 has been fetching a huge premium (often selling for >$500) because of its reputation for great bokeh. The 85/1.7 isn't cheap either.

Aside from those two lenses, though, you're quite right. Nice glass cheap, which is why I'm so happy with my converted 20D.

I haven't seen one sell for <$300 that didn't have something wrong with it, though a sluggish aperture is no big deal if you're shooting on a DSLR.
