Whats a good price for a silver limited hexar rf?
Are they going significantly higher than the black ones? Are there any differences to the camera?

As far as I know the only difference is the titanium finish. They were sold as a kit with the 50/1.2 - I don't believe the bodies were sold separately. Check completed auctions on ebay. There's often 1 or 2 for sale with stupid asking prices. I've never been interested enough to see whether they sold or not.

Sputnick is correct, the finish is the only difference.
They were sold separately from the 50/1.2. Of both, 2,000 are said to be made and I have seen lenses on sale without a body, with matching boxes etc. So a number of bodies must have sold without lens as well.
And of course there was a number of sets, in the bright blue velvet presentation case and cardboard outer box.

For an unused Hexar Limited that would be a good price I reckon. Take USD 150 off for each year it's been used, I'd say.
However, I'd ask for a test-drive period. After all, there might be difficulties ahead if it does need service in the future so you gotta be sure it's all peachy before sending the money, right?
