This is where "old fashion camera shows", camera forums, and used camera shops have the edge, and some of the better Ebay sellers.
I've gotten some real bargains on Ebay, but usually from waiting it out or dealing with reasonable sellers. Some needed a good cleaning, but $90 for a 5cm f1.5 Sonnar- I'll clean it.
The Tele-Arton was $30 in a used camera shop, a while ago.
Remember- "Separating a fool and their junk is expensive" or something like that.
I went to a Photorama show last year, picked up a Schneider Xenar 50/2.8, wartime coated lens for $30. Turned out to be an unusual 5 element design, made it into a Leica mount lens. When I asked how much the lens was, the owner told me "Oh, that one is expensive." He had just priced Zeiss 50/3.5 Tessar in Exakta mount for $10.
$30. One member on another forum told me I should not waste my time at these junk shows....
