In theory, I paid $17.62 for my share of the Hubble Space Telescope. This would make it my fourth most expensive lens, but it's still not a bad deal for a 57,600mm mirror lens.
I tried to talk them down a bit, since it had a flaw in the mirror, but they said that it only added to the price.

Meh....... A camera/lens deal is only a deal if you get great production from it.
In which case my best deal was the RD1 and Biogon 2/35 that I paid the proper average price for (thanks again KDS ).
I did find a cache of 3 Angeneix (spelling sorry) M42 Reflex lenses in an old leather "box" lenses at a thrift shop for $11 though I have never mounted any of them yet .
Ebay will get them when the market becomes more ripe.

Most beloved bargain was my Minolta XE-1, to replace one, demolished by my ex. She was gone four years ago and immeaditly after I searched some time for a replacement. Found one in England and paid € 200 for a nice black one. The lens was unknown but irrelevant because I still had a Rokkor 50mm 1.4. When the camera came in there was a 58mm 1.2 on it. Not very cheap but never a camera purchase made me happier. |

I once bought a nearly new Mamiya Sekor SX 50mm/2 lens on eBay for about $10 total (USD). It had been mistakenly listed as a T-mount lens but of course it was M42 mount. Really sharp!
Oddly, it is a transitional version that has the same rugged lens body and focusing ring as the pre-SX versions, but no A-M lever. Except for being marked SX, it looks like the DTL Model II lens in this photo:

Most people could probably post stories of bad fortune & missed deals, too. Last weekend I missed two eBay deals I had been waiting the whole week for. The other because apparently the alarm on my mobile won't ring if I'm talking on the phone at the time—the item sold for 4× less than I would have bid as my maximum. The other I missed because my network connection had an unusual delay just as I was bidding. I pressed “confirm bid” on two computers on two different eBay sites with 10s left (yes, well, I do come prepared), but neither reached the server in time. The only consolation is that it sold for nearly my maximum bid anyhow and so I probably would have been outbid.
(And I'm still kicking myself for considering the 125mm APO-Lanthar too expensive when it was available for $700 or so. Now I will never have one.) |
