Stole them from Lindsay Lohan, no doubt.
Can we expect sharp price increases when those items are auctioned?

The good news is he managed to avoid reasonably priced sexy stuff altogether. Think of what you can get for 241USD. (150GBP)
If you could buy one lens with that budget what would it be?
I paid less for a nikkor 28 AI f/2
Less for a kiron 105
less for a nikkor 180 ED
less for a nFD 20mm f/2.8
less for a fl 55 1.2

No, I think they're optional.

I was pleased to see the rcognition the Vivitar Series 1 90mm got - one of my favorites, but surprised to see the Tamron 135mm Close Focus, which is average.

I always wonder why those authors do not ask around in forums like this one before they write their article. There is so much knowledge and experience here.
But actually that article is one of the better ones dealing with MF lenses.

that's luxury money to me! I could get one of the wide angle lenses for the P645, even at their current high levels. I could get a nice Rollei TLR, or a Super Ikonta. Or one of the mf Fuji range finders (or can I, they used to be around this level...)
