[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Doug, Before I put it up on the list I checked with KEH and they have several EX/EX+ ones around the $40US to $50US range. http://www.keh.com/shop/product.cfm?bid=LR&cid=20&sid=used&crid=1645162 I think $50US for a NOS one is a good price and I phoned and had them put their last one on hold in case anyone on the list wanted it. They told me it had been there for twenty years at least. The original retail was $575CAN! Someone has spoken for it and I will be picking it up on Monday to ship to them. If you want to check out the rest of there clearance items go here: http://www.mcbaincamera.com/ The clearance list is long and Leica appears several times so go all the way down. Remember it is in $CAN and they have a currency converter set up for easy conversions into $US. As an aside, A used 35-70/2.8 sold last week in Calgary for somewhere around $4700CAN.
