My sense is around $175, give or take $25.

I recently paid $200 on eBay, along with a 100% working IVSB...lens in great condition.

Thanks, Steve.


JRL: That was a super deal, but it is not what I would call "current market value".

I guess, $135-$175 would be a good range for asking price. If front cover is included, then maybe $150 if the lens does not need cleaning.

I may sell such a lens tonight here.

I paid $100 for one, had to clean some oil mist off one of the rear elements but it was perfect after that

KEH bgn seems to be $140 or so if I remember right. It was $120 a couple months ago.

Raid... I think I coughed up $150 for mine + S&H.
(Just before Christmas.)

It had a nice thin filter, but no caps.

Rick: You paid the average price. Is the lens clean?

I will shine a light through the lens before I give it the green light for sale here.

I have with the same problem with one. Any chance you could walk me through the steps?

Thank you.
