I've listed it here, on photo.net and on the auction site that dares not speak its name, but the silence has been deafening. It is just collecting (metaphorical) dust in my closet so I am opening it up to reasonable offers. Times and needs change, which is why I'm putting it up for sale. It is a 135mm APO-Telyt-M f3.4, model 11889, s/n 387xxxx. I bought it new from Tamarkin in NYC in May 2001. It is a razor sharp lens but I have used it very very little. I was thinking about holding on to it for when the digital M comes out but I have changed my mind. There are the usual small wear marks at the front end of the collapsing lens hood where the front cap clamps on; otherwise it looks pretty spotless to me. Its got both caps and its leather case and its box and instruction manual. It is listed on the B&H web site at $2595 new and $1799 used (9+). KEH has one listed (EX+) at $1739.
