Click here to see on Ebay
If any of you is interested, I can take it off the auction and sell it for the base price of 130 Euros + the Ebay fees for ending early (not sure how much) + shipping.
It's not in mint condition as it was Michael's copy, but it takes great photos and for 60-70 Euros less.

Well, mine it's not mint, but yes I could have asked for 20-30 Euros more.
But these times nobody buys lenses, and financially it's better to start from a low price and sell immediately at a lower price, than to start with normal price and not sell and have to pay again for Ebay relisting 2 or 3 times like I had to do for my Summicron.

I sold the lens to new member FOTOMACHI at the special price that I made for you friends.
Judging from the price of that sale, it seems that our new member has made a great bargain!
But, like I said, my copy is not perfect, so... it's ok. I could not ask in all conscience, that high price for my copy.
Positive thing is, for this low price, I am sure that Fotomachi will not complain for the small defects.

As long as the optics are good, you won't hear me complaining. I buy lenses to use them, so if I'd buy the lens in *mint* condition, it surely won't look like that anymore in a few months from now 
Thanks for selling me the glass  |

OK. They are good enough to my eyes, as they make good photos, but certainly they have been used, and they're not immaculate. There are light cleaning marks on the front lens and there's a "birth" defect in the coating of one element, that in one place looks of different colour - surely a industrial defect in the coat layering process. And there's some dust inside. All of this was described in the Ebay ad, I hope that you could read it. Anyway, nothing of the above shows up in the photos, so if taking good photos is your concern, you should be happy with the lens as is.
