 As Mark wrote "It is the f1.2 that is rare" and sells for about $5,500.
 You guys are talking about the more common f:1.0 which is available
  from most dealers for about $2200 on the average.  Dont mix peaches
  and pears.

 I'm very surprised by this.  I see a Noctilux or two (always the 1.0) at
 every San Mateo swap meet.  They're never cheap, but about a year ago I was
 tempted to buy one for $1500.
