I believe the 35/summicron with eyes is in the foggin period. Second for a 35/sumilux with goggles in good condition what price range am I looking at? Think Im gonna get on the phone and call some places in NYC anyone have good experieces with any stores in NYC there are so many its hard to chose thanx
