hi fellow members, i need advice buying these two lenses.
1. Carl Ziess Jena S Electric 200 mm f 2.8
working condition with some dings, but the glass was in great shape
Around 60$
2. Jupiter 21m 200 mm f4
Great condition,perfect glass
Around 30$
AND i will have to sell my last autofocus canon 50 mm 1.8 to get them...Would it be a wise decision??

Seems a real bargain price. If you can have the Zeiss, he can keep the Jupiter. _________________ Regards,

Here's a link from a while back, the Zeiss Jena S 200/2.8 sold for 210 Euros and that price was said to be a bargian.
http://forum.mflenses.com/viewtopic.php?t=50303
There's one on Ebay right now for $500 USD buy-it-now.
The S stands for Sonnar, i.e a classic famous lens. If you keep it you'll love it, or sell and profit.
Grab that Sonnar ASAP, it's a rare bargain. When you save some money it will be easy to find a new Canon 50/1.8. _________________ I welcome C&C, editing my pics and reposting them on the forum is fine.
