Cheap.

History of expensive price tags for that lens.

Would be a shame if a skateboard hit it.

Really reminds me of the mirrors in gas stations to prevent people from stealing... LoL

This lens was sold on Ebay for $30,000 just a few days ago. What a bargain.

 

[Heitz]

the sad part is it was purchased, I believe, by a camera collector... probably not someone who would actually use it.

I thought I read it had a damaged rear element and that is why is was sold for ​only $30,000......

For real? Crazy if that's true. Of course, the FRONT element is absolutely beautiful, and I could stare at it for hours.

I really wanted it but my wife convinced me that having two would be excessive.

She did say that if I bought it she would leave me and I had to think long and hard about that deal.

Get a copy of 2001: A Space Odyssey. They used these lenses for the HAL 9000.
