I'll second that! Back in early 2011 I was able to buy the 200mm manual focus in LN condition for $125. While I gulped at $550 for the 35mm manual focus, it was new old stock, in the box with packing materials and warranty card. I've recently seen it listed on KEH in E+ for about $1,000. My 120mm manual focus I bought from a fellow member for, I think, $450, was money well spent for a lens in LN condition, with caps and case.
I'm sure the introduction of the 645d has driven the prices up on used gear. While my 645n could use the FA lenses I can't afford the luxury of autofocus.
