That's a lot money for a couple of extra f/stops... maybe there is something we don't know?
Well, let's see...
First, there's Ebay and Paypal fees, then there's the Linhof and Schneider names. Xenotars are similar to Planars which command a higher price over several other lenses in the same focal lengths. Then there's the f2.8 aperture. Nice, but hmmm..... my math doesn't add up to $38k worth of lens either.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

It's not the lens - it's the cache. Just think of how the girls will flip for this lens. I bet even Angelina Jolie would want you!
Well, it DOES come with a Linhof board. I suspect that the last bidder left out a "." !
If you look at the bids and the timing of the bids, it looks like a bidding war which got totaly out of control.
Besides that, it is the first authentic late series Xenotar with a original Copal 3
shutter I have seen.
All the other Xenotars with Copal 3 shuters I have seen have had all black shutters and have
been converted (based on serialnumbers) from Compur 2 shutters.

Wow, that is scary...
There are obviously at least two people who think it is worth that sort of money.
I am just not one of them, given the information provide...
Hey that's pretty good considering the starting price was $9.00.
Kirk, OMG NO!!
You're not trying to raise that other thread to the top of the list again??!!!
It only has 300 replies to it...
I think the bidders are a bit sick just my opinion!
