John,
Novoflex can vary a great deal in price. A lot of it has been well used 
professionally and can be had for 'a song', e.g. 280/400 and 640 lens 
heads, pistol grips etc., all for 400 GBP. But there are other times when a 
well cared for outfit previously used by a Leicaflex toting amateur will 
want top money, maybe 500GBP for a single lens and mount.

hope this helps, but it probably won't!

Jem

Subject:	[Leica] Novoflex 640mm f9 question

I have the chance to buy a Novoflex 640mm f9 with the pistol grip focussing
and I am wondering what is a reasonable price? I want a inexpensive way to
try a long lens on my viso and it comes with the right adaptors. Any
experience out there. I would have rather started with a 400 but it is just
to wet my feet.
