There's two 150mm APO Lanthars for silly money on that auction site.

Wow - wish I held onto mine.

They always go for silly money.

I'm glad I held onto mine - it's scratched, so it's far more valuable as a user lens than as a collector's item.

[Jim Rice]

Damn, Ole. Is there some lens that you don't own an example of?

[Ole Tjugen]

Oh yes Jim - just about anything modern!

I'm fairly well covered with the major types from 1840 up to about 1940; but post-WWII I only have a few "users", most of them from the 60's and 70's.

Silly? Have you looked at the price of new Rodenstock and Schneider 150mm APO lenses? By comparison the APO-Lantars will be a bargain.
