The 105 APO El Nikkor is certainly hard to find.  In the past 3 years that I
have searched, several have sold.... $1300, $2500, and $2200.   There is a
210 for sale ( in excess of $3000).  The lens is not special looking, and I
wonder why the high cost.  Small production quantities divided into a large
overhead cost?   Special glass and short production?   Assembly tweaking?
Whatever it is, they are legend.
