Price wise, $1750 and $900 would be accurate going rates for close to pristine multicoated examples of the 360 and 300 respectively. The 300s are much more common than the 360s. Unlike the 180 and 240, the 300 and 360 were expensive lenses when they were produced. All are excellent performers with large image circles for their focal lengh, in addition to being lightweight and compact.
This could really be the work of a lifetime... it utterly reinforces my awe of all of you who get this information under control as you do.
I think it would be very interesting to try to look at whether there's really a strike-point between quality and price that wavers up and down in economically different times, like most products, or whether there's so much passion about lenses (and a few other items that seem to make for a very complex market) that sellers do what they want and just wait for the right ecstatic zealot to come along?
In any event, thank you all again for my latest crash course. Next come the Nikons and the Schneiders!
let's not forget about the grandparents of the fujinon "A" family, the 600mm A and the 1200mm(!) A lenses! should any of you have a picture of the 1200mm please share!
