They do show up, but fairly rarely. I can recall 3 or 4 in the last 6
months. Auctions seem to end up in the $325 to $400 range. It is a nice
lens, though. Even bigger than the 50/1.2, but maybe the one best all-around
if you need close-up capability. Until about 1960 an f2.0 lens was
considered pretty fast... and films are faster now, so f2.0 is plenty even
for 'available darkness' shooting with 800 and 1600 speed films. Patience,
grasshopper... <g>
