So Peter just out of interest what price would this go for at auction, i mean what is something like this really worth.

Leon
Only worth whatever the market pays.

Birns and Sawyer were just a few blocks from Hollywood General Machining (aka Losmandy) and Scott picked up a number of their different "uber-telephoto" lenses during a warehouse sale. I twisted his arm for one of them and paid about $US3400 some 15 years ago..and dragged it back across the Pacific.....my god it was heavy!

My HGM200 groaned under its weight....and I groaned with the first light image...what a shocker!

My AP155 blew it away in every respect.

I dragged it back to the USA...and basically got my money back.
