Hi,

Dave Bellamy replied on my quote:

<< Last year I bought a mint 40 mm F2 for $90 and yes, I could sell it with a nice profit. >>

Fancy selling it?

Of course there will be some point at which I will be tempted to sell it. However, I like the lens a lot and I do not really need the money (unless it is a huge amount... ;-).
For those who can not understand what's so special about the 40/2:

1) It has a very useful angle of view.
2) It is very small in size (but yes, the 50/1.8 is very small too)
3) It fits with the hood attached in a Never-Ready case!

1+3 make it superiour to the 50/1.8.
2+3 make it superiour to the 35/2.
3 makes it a wonderful snapshot lens.

Dave, if find a second specimen, I will let you know.
Let me know if you want the lens *now* and are willing to pay a fortune for it... :-)

Bye,
