Found the same lens...and it's local to you. The BIN is a bit high-most go for 225 to 275 US$. The starting bid is good and maybe local p/u is a possibility.

well, i was the only bidder and got it for the opening bid of 249 cdn.
that's about 218 american, not bad for a lnib lens with caps, hood and case.
now the cl kit is complete.

Hi Joe,
If possible try to find a Minolta 90mm F4 lens made for the CLE not the CL version. The CLE version is multicoated and is a slighty improved version of the Leica CL and Leitz-Minolta CL models. You can tell the difference by looking through the lens at a a light. The multicoated coated version will display several different colors. Also, the multicoated version will have the serial number on the bottom of the lens barrel.

Great! I bought mine in pristine condition from a guy in Canada about three years ago for about US $285. How much did yours cost? |

joe, you should bookmark THIS GUY. This is where I always go to get an idea on prices. The Rokkor is listed under the M lenses (@ $250). I think he's pretty accurate, anyway, from what I've seen, he's pretty close. I think he's a member here, too—at least I've seen him post a few times.
He covers a lot of lenses—Canon lenses, too. Oops! You're off those now!

oh dan and i go way back...we actually talk to each other now
i'm pleased with the purchase, if it's close to how it's been described i'll be very happy. i had 2 of these before with my pair of cle's and know what they are capable of.
be interesting to see it compared to the hex 90.
joe
