Right now people have money before the holidays. The $750 is a fairly
realistic price, but the camera has the less sought after Xenotar. Now I am
not trying to get into a pissing contest with Planar versus Xenotar. They
are both good lenses, but the Planar fetches the higher price. Personally
for that money I would opt for a 2.8 lens. That is the ones the pros usually
used and Bay 3 accessories seem to be more prevalent. Besides, I get a bit
faster of a lens for those low light situations.
