lars_engdahl Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I am looking for a new one of these - does anyone know of any dealers offering goods deals on this lens? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_hoffman Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Tony Rose of Popflash Photo in Thousand Oaks/Westlake Village, CA has a new one; I just saw it last night. Pretty but not cheap! I think it's actually the first chrome non-ASPH 'Lux 50 I've ever seen. Expect to pay around $1,900.00 US for it though; it's now a rare bird!

stephen_w. Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Tony had four for $1299 as was reported here several weeks ago. A bargain IMHO. BTW, I'm sticking with my $550 '58 chr. 'lux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frederick_muller Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Pretty, but it's also a heavy beast! Still, it's worth owning. The performance is sweet, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tan_tien_yun Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I have one of these, second version 50 summilux. Mint versions are pretty damn expensive (and extremely hard to find). It's my workhorse lens for now, and I got it with just a few marks on the chrome. I reckon the used ones on the market are much more economical if money's an issue *grin* Just a picture!<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_hoffman Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Stephen, No, Tony is selling the BLACK 50 'Lux for that low price; the silver is as I mentioned above, a LOT more!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_.1 Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Ooo, 50 lux in chrome. Sounds good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dion_loy Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Are these really that expensive now? I purchased a 50mm Summilux Chrome non-asph (2nd generation) on eBay just last year for about 900 USD (with hood too). I use the 35 cron more often, but it's nice to have a 50 lux when you need it.

alan_wilder1 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Tony Rose has a new (US warranty) one in black for $1300, a true bargan considering the older used E43 versions(1m) don't focus as close as the new ones(0.7m). Optically improved or maybe "tweaked" over older versions if one compares the Popular Photography test review from the mid-90's to their lastest tests recently with the MP review 1-2 yrs ago with the current version. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
