It seems that Lemon Camera Co. arranged for this consignment to be made Talk about instant rarities!!! This is a bit silly: To support a camera body mount that is 70 or so years old, and has been discontinued for 50 years, and supports your competition, and supports cameras that you will not repair any more, specifically marketed to an economy that is in the tank, and has no commemorative connection, etc, etc, etc, you actually specially make a small handful of lenses, whose collector value far exceeds their intrinsic value,........ What am I missing here???? Are we going to see a M6 TTL HM / LTM next? Having gotten that off my chest, I was the one that suggested the R lenses and remounting them for Nikon..... Hmmmmmm... maybe they have something here......but a limited quantity? Nope, instant rarities. Pure and simple. You lucky Japanese collectors.... Frank
