They could be more between dealers and users elsewhere because of their practicality for aerial work. BTW, either lens is suoerb, probably since they came from the same source and met the same specifications. Both have outstanding contrast and produce outstandingly sharp images. The lens without the body is not too marketable, I have had one for as long as 2 years and sold them to curious leicafiles for their amusement for about $100. The Elcan 90 F1.0 is a different story, very valuable and rare, but you need all the focus rings which went with it to make it functional and worth the $5000 I got for the one I had. My understanding is that they were made for the KE-7A, and used by the U.S. Navy for survilence. If you ever saw one you would wonder how they could be discrete with this monster on a camera.
