man that 1.4/85 is a light bucket...   (and the 2.8/180)

There is a limited edition 1.2/85 too which is a beauty.

 

The others are 'just' not common but I really have no idea what that 25/1.4 and 28/1.8 could be worth (probably beyond insane)

I grew up in the antique business. My father did not normally deal in optics, but for something that rare the value is usually listed as "NRS" meaning "no recent sales" which really means "we won't know until it goes up for auction."

Eh, I've fallen behind posting my recent pics here.  Here's a few to make up for it, with more to come.  These are from my post-CES trip, in Arizona, Nevada, and Utah, respectively:

Bit different from LA, where the air comes free with its own ND filter

[agile_one]

Well done, Peter.

AF-S NIKKOR 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR.  Perfect for bird photographers and creepers.

[Jon L]

I like bird photography, but not $18,000 worth     Wow, and I thought Canon lens prices were going insane..

I wonder how long it takes to grow the two flourite elements.

So I somehow have a Nikon 35Ti coming my way this week.

I'm both looking forward to and dreading it.

Sometimes I get lucky with the kids. I bought an SB-700 and my indoor shots no longer suck, except when I forget to set a suitable exposure.

More Holga shots.

 

This time, I developed the film myself.

Once I learned the value of bounce flash I enjoyed indoor photography a lot more!
