You're not frugal enough, mate. Mine cost me $150 :) Neither mystic nor myth.
Trouble with the $1100 idea is it becomes a 'Fang-brag' competition.
i.e.
OM2sp $150 +$25 for the snakeskin
21mm/3.5 SC $100
28mm/2 $120 + $40 service
50mm/3.5 $50 (dinged, had a fair OM 1n attached for $150 all up).
85mm/2 MC $150 (Slack rubber grip - now has snakeskin strip)
T20 with 0.6 cord and adaptor - $30
200mm/4  $75
300mm/4.5 SC $200
Extension rings, all three, auto - $25
Some isn't pretty but it all works! Took me 18 months of looking with help
from other members in some cases. Still looking for the $250 90/2. One
day....
