This is a very good question. There seems to be a "bubble" forming on
M-SYSTEM equipment. A 55/1.2 went for $1,550 on the bay a few weeks ago,
and another (I think it was a 28/3.5) went for $1,300+. A lowly 50/1.8
just sold for over $700 (and I paid $30 for one just two years ago!). Not
long ago, the bodies were selling for around $350 or so, now they routinely
top $1,000. So 300 euros with a matching lens is probably a good price for
this one.
Mark Dapoz can probably enlighten us further.
