Oh my yes idea, beautiful set!

Oh. My. God.
Someone had better buy this quickly or I’ll have to step in....

**sergysergy** · 07-15-2019, 04:18 PM

great lenses but not affordable

**luftfluss** · 07-15-2019, 04:25 PM

Huh... I mean, I want them because they're so pretty, but I don't actually want them.

Sandy Hancock · 07-15-2019, 05:01 PM

That A*135/1.8 though....

stevebrot · 07-15-2019, 05:30 PM

I find this a strange listing in that it appears the seller is willing to sell part off-auction.

Sounds a bit fishy to me. 5k in lenses, all bundled? A legit seller would more likely sell individually, I'd think. Perhaps it's up and up, but I'd not bid on it, even if I had 5 grand burning a hole in my pocket.

swanlefitte · 07-16-2019, 06:03 AM

I think it is probably up and up. If they were mine I wouldn't want to break up the kit. It's too perfect together. It's beyond what I can justify anyway.

Now if someone wants to secretly buy it for me as a birthday or x-mas present.

Come on, you know you want to.

Ronald Oakes · 07-16-2019, 06:36 AM

Hmmm....This just isn't right that one person has so many. Prices are very high though. Gotta go …. and clean up my Drool !

I'd do it this way, I just hate the time it takes to sell a lens. If I can do it once instead of 10 times, i'm going for it.

I imagine that more than a few of us have returned to the listing... just to look, of course.

What is it about a sweet collection of top-shelf lenses that makes us drool?

The seller also has a mint LX kit with box, asking USD $795.

Plus it is already prepacked in the case making shipping damage less a worry.

The postage to Australia and the import tax is (fortunately for my bank account!) prohibitive, but the price isn't bad when you itemise what is actually there.

It's just perfection. Sigh.
