Really? Guess I should have looked first. Didn't used to be that way. If I  
can buy an R 60mm 2.8 which is an outstanding performer, for about $100 more,  
I don't think the 65 is a bargain. How things change over the years.

But who would want one in Excellent condition anyway? That's way below my  
standards. I want Ex++ or better when I buy equipment. And if I were a  
hobbyist, it would be Mint- or better. 

Of course rating lenses could be a whole 'nuther discussion. ;-)
