roger_michel Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 not really. the DR summicron as shown is worth maybe $350 (assuming no haze or other problems). the beater m4p is worth $650 to $700 (assuming it works well). one thousand for the pair would be more like it. a store might charge a little more, but not much. and a craig's list sale is always a bit dicey. call tamarkin if you are in NYC. they will sell you a very minty, perfectly functional m4-p for $900 and a nice DR (or other) 50 cron for $400. you'll be much happier.

roger_michel Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 hi -- i was high on the camera. it looks like $400-$500 is more like it based on ebay sales. things are dropping fast!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob F. Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 The DRS is prone to haze, fog, and separation. There's no way to tell for sure from this photo, but I have a bad feeling about this one. It may be clear, but somehow doesn't look that way in the photos. It looks like it could be fogged. The M4P is a good camera, but the best deals right now are on the M6's everyone is dumping for an MP--or for a digital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capocheny Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Markus, NOPE! Go with what Roger suggested. Prices ARE dropping faster than a lump of cement in the middle of the ocean! Perhaps, you might want to look at a M6 instead... unless you have your heart set on one of these. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
