A nice chrome S was sold for AU $710 with Takumar 55mm f2.2 recently. The O P is listing his S on ebay for 3250 cad, chrome body with SMC Takumar 55f2. That is not the correct lens. There is reference to A P being appraised at 3800 to 4000 USD. Which would be one 0 to much.

Can you post the link to the camera?

Found it.

For what it's worth, I have 3 copies, one silver and 2 black all fully functional and tested by Eric. I would consider $400 too low and $4000 too high.

I would consider to split the lens and camera, since the lens is incorrect. Don't know what you can get for the body, but USD 500 is a good estimate. Depends on the market of course.

Yours are in mint condition, I'd assume each of them are worth above 1k while the OP's S is not - so 500.00 and up, would that be Cad or Usd?

I've noticed the eBay listing has ended, was it scooped up by someone in the forum?
