I got $650 for an Lx with a 50mm f/2 M lens, FA-1 and FB-1 finders, and
FD-1, FD-2, and FC-1 eyepieces not that long ago.  i was satisfied with
that.

I hope there are no bargains, since I just listed an LX with FA-1
finder and SE-60 screen, and also an FB-1 base with FC-1 sports
finder, and a Quantum battery with charger, and a nice little Pentax
Bellows III.  But if some PDML'er wants a bargain, make me an offer
and maybe I'll end the auction early.
