Did they copy the Rikoh S2 I wonder?
Do you know when that was released as the Canonflex was released in 1959.

Then probably not likely as there would have to be some time of development and implementation. Probably more a continuation from one of their previous rangefinders that TomB_tx pointed out.

In 1993 I paid 3500 swedish crowns for this copy 2nd hand. That's about 400 US$. Autofocus had come and a lot of people were selling of all their manual focus lenses....

In retrospect, purchases made back theN seem more like investments. I bought my 200mm SMCA macro for $750 a few years earlier than when you got the 135mm. It's a bit careworn, but I daresay there's a Pentaxian out there who would jump at a $2000 offering now - but not a chance I'd part with it. BTW: The only copies of the 200 I've seen for sale were going for $3000, but mine shows more signs of wear than that one.
