Nothing wrong with it.
Note that it's about AUD as a currency.
If it were a Turkish Lira maybe the price would've been smaller. _________________ Moderator Himself |

1- You can make an offer = the seller hopes 700/800 aud max
2- You can see that the lens is not mc = old lens
3- Whatever at 700 or 800 .. it still a dream but some people buy their dreams whatever the price _________________ OM USER .. I KEEP/USE:

There's several listed regularly on eBay in the $1000+ (USD) range. I'm not really sure where this comes from when you can get a Zuiko, Pentax or Nikkor for half that or less.
But I do like to think I could make a 3000% return on mine if I really wanted to (Yeah right!). _________________ Rocket Launch Photography

Just one of the 'never sold lenses' trial never mind, I think a Nikon or Olympus , Pentax 1.2 perhaps even better and their price is not too crazy. _________________ -------------------------------

Mind you I think it is Christmas and have noted there is a huge dump of lenses and cameras by one regular seller at interesting (Interesting in the sense possibly overpriced) BIN prices. _________________ Moira, Moderator

Chinese buyers like to buy on half price usually, perhaps seller think about on this way. Advertise for $1200 and if he got an offer for $600 he will sell happily. I think easy sell price of this lens max $400. _________________ -------------------------------

I agree Attila...smart seller,leaves the buyer with an opportunity to offer what they would buy at. However it will be interesting to see if any offers come in. _________________ Moira, Moderator
