There is a 100mm f/2.8 , M I believe, currently on eBay. Haven't been paying that close attention, would guess it has a day or two to go. Was at about $125 last time I looked. stan > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Wed, 30 May 2001 19:36:12 EDT > To: [EMAIL PROTECTE

Brent, I'd guess at prices something like this... M100/2.8 - $165 (not rare, but not a common focal length) A100/2.8 - $185 (more for the same lens in A mount) K105/2.8 - $230+? (this I would call semi-rare, it's old and some folks love it) Perhaps somebody else is keeping closer track???
