I'm quite sure there is a glut of 35mm lenses. It's just that there
isn't a glut of 24/2, 50/2 and 85/2. And KEH charges a high premium for
lenses in exceptional condition in order to take advantage of the
collector... and sentimentalist market. KEH BGN grade is still pretty
good if you just want a shooting kit.
