One for $550 here and two for the same at ebay. What people WANT. But the REAL price?

I'm unsure of the conversion, but there have only been 2 of those lenses sold recently on eBay and they went for around £340.

I will offer a bit less than that and then maybe go up 10%. The last was for $250 - and went for that price! Anyway got the 45mm...

The 85mm is fantastic but I just never seem to get chance to use it very much! It's not the most versatile lens, autofocus is a bit slow and there's no stabilisation. But the output? Wowwwwwwwwww!

Wonder how much it would be used, but will go for more NX lenses (and cameras). Never been in doubt about the output. - Never thought much about it, but how long do lenses last? Quality lenses...

I think they are generally good quality. The only lenses I've had trouble with are the 60mm and the 85mm. Both of those lenses have caused my camera to crash on occasion. Also, the 85mm does seem to have a squeaky autofocus, although this doesn't seem to cause any issues.

Reportedly the 12-24mm had build quality issues but I think this was rectified with newer versions.
