He did have two lenses for sale in the Marketplace this week But he would have had to sell nearly half of his lens collection to pay for that...
[quote="The eBay listing"]In case of purchasing more than one item, the shipping cost will be reduced. For futher information please contact us.[/quote]Hmm, they seem to be under the genuine impression that someone with the money to spend £24k on a lens is likely to be fussed over a £50 delivery charge

Have you looked at the bid history? It's amazing, the losing bidder increased his bid more than $20,000 in the last couple of minutes and still lost. He must have been gutted

I'm amazed that someone selling something that valuable would put it on ebay with a starting price of $9! And what about the person who thought they were going to get it for $10,000 until the last few minutes? I wonder what their maximum bid was?
I've been looking for a 150mm lens for my Horseman but I think I can get one cheaper than that!

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I don't know if it's true but I've since read on another forum that the Schnieder Xenotar 150/2.8 should be more like $1500, but this one went so high solely because of the Linhof inscription on the barrel. Sounds a bit silly if you ask me!!

That's what you call confidence!I'm amazed that someone selling something that valuable would put it on ebay with a starting price of $9!
EDIT: Or ignorance. I suppose the former.
