The 35mm and 50mm lenses, while fine performers, don't generate a lot of excitement on eBay. The 90mm Elmarit-R is an outstanding lens by any standard except the 100mm APO-Elmarit-R, but again, an old 2-cam lens doesn't generate lots of bids on eBay. Same story with the 180. If the SL's screen discoloration is a result of prism separation, the next owner will have to count on an expesive repair (but worthwhile IMHO).
