I stumbled across mine in a pawn shop a couple of years ago. I wasn't even looking for it but I remembered some discussions on PDML about it so I bought it. It was actually quite cheap, about the same price as a secondhand 50mm f/1.7 would be in NZ and its mint condition. Its one of my long list of favourite lenses and when I borrowed an LX to attach it to, I felt like I'd died and gone to heaven. I can't think of a more perfect combination. Bob's comment is spot-on IMO; I doubt the lens is "rare" but those who own them don't want to part with them. Cheers, - Dave - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
