I think someone will be disappointed

Look at

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320307716445

and it's described as AF - which it isn't and 2 hours before the end the seller agreed.

I can't believe this lens is worth £63 - I have the same lens in excellent condition and would gladly take £50 for it! It is a nice lend but not that nice.

I think the AF claim inflated the bidding.

It must be the hood - £13 for the hood, that will be it!

I have the M version of this lens, haven't got round to trying it yet though.

As I say it's a nice lens but I am going to sell mine as the lack of AF is a bit irritating and I have a 35 AF now.

If I could get that sort of money I'd be very pleased.

Usually goes for 40 quid. A mint/boxed version sold for 90 quid in January.

Best wishes, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
