    Someone selling a "Red Dot" Prototype Dagor for $32,000.00

    The eBay description is UBER RARE "Red Dot" Prototype DAGOR 8 1/4" Mint in Box (Gold Dot) Goerz Lens

    It looks nice and clean, but I'd be surprised if it fetches any more than $31,999.99

    What's so special about it ?

    Well, it's not just "uber rare", it's "UBER RARE". Also note it's a "collector's dream". And while the seller doesn't mention it, there's a good chance it's also a "must-have for any collection". It may also be "the Holy Grail of lenses", and I'm pretty sure it has "Buddha Bokeh"...

    I wonder whether he'd take prototypes of my new currency, iMoney, in exchange?

    The currency is digital. I'd email it to him.
    Politically, aerodynamically, and fashionably incorrect.

    I have never seen a red dot Dagor that looks like it is set up as an enlarger lens. But then I have not looked for one, and it may not be set up as an enlarger lens. It does look minty.

    But the seller must be happy that his view-count on the lens is shooting up!

    Well, trying to sell for that much. The listing still has around one week to go. So far, a single offer (of indeterminate magnitude) was made and declined. We shall see whether that someone actually finds a buyer and, if so, at what price.

    I don't know, the aperture blades (of which there appear to be around 20) seem to have oil on them.

    That's small change. This Leicaflex SL U.S. Navy with 2/75mm Elcan -R can be had for the low low price of $145,200 (Buy it Now only)...

    There's never any harm in asking for the moon. Getting it? That's a different story.

    The seller says it's a gold dot dagor with a red dot. To me it looks like a red dot artar with a typographical error (Dagor).

    Damn, I should charge more for my ULF lenses. I thought I was high-balling already but apparently not...
