In Belgium : NOCTILUX 1.0 (Sep. Hood) 35.000 / 50.000 BEF : 950$ / 1.300$= We have see a lot of them second hand during the last years. (The same for the 135/2,8) It seems that those two lenses attract the buyers and that after a short period they find them difficult to use or to bulky. We can say the same in a way of the 75/1,4.(less often) I really like the NOCTILUX. Lucien BELGIUM
