For example, I picked up a Schneider 35 F2.8 essentially for free as a body cap to a Canon II series RF. It has proven to be very sharp with good contrast and relatively flare resistant for a single coated lens. I have found Canon Serenar 35 2.8's for less than $100 and they are also very good. Not to mention the Ukranian Biogon knock offs. As film dies the less well known items will get cheaper and cheaper. When negotiating on non-Leica items just keep expressing the what is this thing you are trying to sell and the price goes down. Collectivity of non marquee film items is starting to go through the basement and into Exacta land. Meaning there are 10 folks ( see the smiley :) ) out there who still even remember Exacta's so some really good glass is starting to be found really cheap. No dealer wants to be stuck with a dust magnet.
