Well, like all things "rare" they it carries a premium.................so perhaps for the right buyer it will be a 'snip'

In all fairness, it does have one of those very rare 70-28mm lenses though.
The majority of lenses are 28-70mm so it is pretty special.

You'd think they would've put the lens cap on the right way up!

Rare seems to be the buzz word on eBay at the moment. Sellers must think they will get a sale with that description.

I've been told that such adverts may be part of money laundering or drug dealing.
Then again, they could be typing mistakes.

This lens is genuinely rare, there were only 20 of them made for a special order in 1948
Here’s another example at auction with an estimate of up HKD 280,000 to 400,000 (about £40,000)

The second camera I bought was one of those. If only I had known just how valuable it was! It was a lovely camera but not that valuable.
