Oh, yeah! I bought my 35mm manual focus perhaps 18 months or 2 years ago for $550, a gulp worthy price then.. Turned out to be NOS, complete packaging, even a warranty card! A few months later KEH listed Bargain 35s at better than $500. BTW, don't be afraid of Bargain from KEH.:)

Keep an eye out for the 35mm WA. It is killer! Sharp and very low distortion for the equivalent of about 20mm for 35mm fromat. Again Ken Rockwell was right.
I also like KEH very much and wouldn't hesitate to buy again their "bargain" grade. I bought a LX from them in bargain grade just a few months ago, it had a little brassing on the self timer hub and by the strap lugs, a few light scratches on the base plate, a little dust in the VF which I blew out with a bulb. It looks like a well used and properly cared for camera, and works perfectly. What's not to like, especially for...drum roll...under $170.00 with prism, less lens!!!!!
BTW, they will watch for a certain item and let you know when one arrives. That's how I got the LX.
