This lens is a third-rate 1959 lens. Worth about $50.

Rare mount, and absolutely collectible condition - while Pentamatics and their lenses have no fixed high value (and sell for a fiver as often as for 500), they are rare enough that some desperate collector might bite. There are many collectors for whom completeness is a target in itself, and for them, owning a Pentamatic with only two of the three original lenses would be almost physically painful.

How many different lenses were made by Yashica in that Pentamatic bayonet mount? Just three? |

The manual listed three (35, 55, 100). There also seems to have been a 135, presumably later as it was not in the manual. The Pentamatic was abandoned for its M42 sibling, the Penta J, after less than three years, so the lens family does not seem to have grown any more...

Not the point, of course, and what other lenses are you comparing it to? |

Everything from Super-Taks to ZE/ZF/ZM/Contax, to Leica R/M/LTM more or less every lens I've ever twisted the focus ring.
Now that I think about it, it's quite the claim, but it really is smoooooth.

But what is he selling, and what is he pricing? The companion text says "Canon FD: Gemini 28mm F2.8" - which would be worth even less, but once there's a mess-up the price might be from yet another lens...
