It's certainly worth more than that mint, but what condition is it in? Whatever, it's worth it. A true Leica lens. I scanned in my pictures today from the fashion show yesterday. And I have to say, this 19 is a great available light lens. It may be slow (2.8 for me is slow) but it's got shadow detail to spare. And VERY contrasty. But there were wedding gowns with lots of white in the images, and the highlights were very smooth and not blown out, except in one picture that was in very extreme light. And it was the film that gave up, not the lens. :-) ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Suicidal twin kills sister by mistake!
