When I was comparing fast 80mm lenses, the AI Nikkors and FD Canons were more
money than the OM 85/2 at KEH.
Maybe Nikkor & Canon prices are driven by pros who are using digitals with AF
lenses? I'm guessing as I'm not a pro.
In spite of our home-grown pride of ownership, I think the market prices on the
Good Stuff are based on Collectors, not shooters.
I barely got $39.99 for a Zuiko 135 f3.5 in perfect shape with genuine caps &
genuine case.
The camera store downtown has had one in the window, new, at $150 for about 20
years. It will never sell- it should have been
marked down at clearance a long time ago.
