wlaidlaw Posted March 21, 2023 Share #2 Posted March 21, 2023 Some of those prices look reasonable but some are excessive e.g. a 35mm Summilux-R priced at €8,900. Not exactly priced to sell. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidmknoble Posted March 24, 2023 Share #5 Posted March 24, 2023 I’ve bought a good group of lenses from them over the past 2-3 years, including a great DMR system.
