I went away shaking my cyber head. I saw a chrome 35/2 M about to go for more than $1,500. This is an older 8 element version. Having used this rev in RF mount for M3 I can say that there is nothing special about this lens. I don't think it is especially rare either. Am I wrong? I think I'd rather have a new 35/2 ASPH, or my late 35/2 non-ASPH. It just doesn't make sense. This isn't the only thing that I found odd. Now I know why I never frequent that site. >> Sounds like someone who walks into one pawn shop, doesn't see any bargains and writes off pawn shops for good. If it was EASY everyone would go there and then of course there would be no bargains. Which now that I think about it is what HAS happened to both pawn shops and ebay. But, as always, there are still bargains to be had. They just don't fall off trees and hit you on the head. You have to work at it a little bit. But in both cases, I'd just assume that you and everyone else stayed away (nothing personal, mind you). Bob (has found many needles in haystacks) McEowen
