jml_. Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 <p>Hi all,<br> I was fortunate enough to find a G690 for sale with the AE 100mm lens. Now, I'm hooked! And, am furiously searching for more lenses.<br> I generally search eBay, but it has been somewhat fruitless and/or seemingly over priced. <br> Any suggestions out there? In particular, lenses longer than the 100mm? <br> Much appreciated.<br> Thank you!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john tonai Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 <p>Long lenses for the G690 are pretty rare. So why do you think they are over priced? The ones I've seen for sale seem reasonable for their rarity and desirability.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtyr Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 <p>I've got some discouraging news for you: lenses for this system are exceedingly rare. I've been trying to build a system for three years and only succeeded in getting a 65 and a 100mm. eBay prices reflect the reality of rarity and age. One seller (luckycat, I think) tends to be over priced, but all other prices I have seen are the going rate.<br> 150 and 180mm lenses do come up for sale maybe 6-7 times a year. The 65mm lens, maybe 4-5 times a year. The 50mm lens is mythically, impossibly rare.<br> Although I still vigulently monitor all new listings, I have pretty much completely given up hope.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jml_. Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 <p>Ebay is indeed the place. I lucked out and got a complete set 65, 100, 150, 180 for a phenomenal price. :)<br> Just gotta stay away from LuckyCat... that fool is exorbitant. <br> Now the question is... where is the 50mm lens...? :)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
