possibly he meant 23.000 japanese Yen, which would make the starting bid around 270 usd?

I know the seller, he collects very rare lenses and we had a few deals with each other.
And no, it is no error in his price (just optimistic) ... Wink Wink

Do you think the X-133 picture in the English version is a model or real plane? If real, then it is confusing. Really fast shutter speed to stop the propellor but oversaturated colours to make the whole feel plastic. Confused

BTW I'll learn sooner to fly the plane than to read about it in Japanese. I had a kanji dictionary from a library for a few months. It was fun but totally impossible. Smile

I studied Japanese for years. The Tuttle dictionary is the standard for English speakers. It's slow going if you don't already know the characters. The key is to be able to identify the 'radicals' and look up the characters based on the radicals.

Slow going, yes, but not nearly as difficult as Chinese. In Japanese, you need to know only about 2,000 characters to be fluent. In Chinese, anywhere from 10,000 to 40,000 is required for fluency. Yikes. Shocked

As for the X-133 A6M, yes that's a real plane. It belongs to the Commemorative Air Force. I've seen it fly before. Very nice restoration was done to it. I agree about the shutter speed, though. Much more than 1/125 and you don't get prop blur, and it just looks wrong with a frozen prop, like a model airplane hanging in the sky.
