Nevertheless...even if it is great, seems overpriced just given what it usually goes for -- that's the top of the market. If you can get it for $130-$160 (and you can, fairly easily), then why pay $200?

It is at least partly hype. The 7-element plain Supers aren't quite as good (those are only $50-$60 often), but the 7-element Super-Multi-Coated or SMC versions are sharper (and go for around $100). The 8 element will have a subtler dreamy quality wide-open, but it is not a big difference. I wouldn't pay more then $130 or so for an 8-element version. There are plenty of other nice old m42 50 & 55 1/4s that are less hyped that you can get for less than $100...
