One of my favourite and most used lenses is my M series 100mm f/2.8. Small, light, soft in a nice portrait friendly way wide open, sharp when stopped down just a little.

I noticed an A series version on ebay which is optically the same as the M series just more convenient in use. Blow me down with a feather but it sold for £230... Admittedly, the M series is much more common but I hadn't expected that!

The FA* on the MZ-S is a rather lovely looking combo but sadly I have to replace my motorcycle and not feed my GAS. Ahh well, good luck with the sale!

Don't you think that the "feel" of the camera and the pleasure you get from using it is important?
Yes, but that feel is very much a personal thing.

Just had a thought - you might have a slightly odd version of the 50mm f2 there Kris. Is the aperture ring plastic? If so, it's one of the last batch made before the lens was replaced by the A version. Dimitrov's site has a section about them which explains the differences.
My lens fits the description of the late version in all respects apart from the lettering on the front ring which is that from the early version.

Best wishes, Kris.

The infamous CarbonR!

The reason this lens is so expensive is it is supposedly one of only about 220 made (see the AOHC website).

Lovely shots. The first just squeaks it for me, but I'd be proud of any of them.

I have an SF7. Built like a tank, works well although the low light metering is annoying, ugly as sin.
