Do you think they are really buying the pancake because it is a collectable? It isn't, to my knowledge, a rarity. I think they were produced in pretty great quantity. I think the lens has gained an undeserved reputation of being an extremely sharp lens, because of all of the BS written about it in ebay item descriptions. The sheer numbers of them that pass through ebay should make folks wonder exactly how good they could actually be. If it was a really great lens, and a collectable, there wouldn't be so many of them available.

Those who want to pay high prices for their lenses just order their 43 Limited from their nearest camera shop. Pål - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
