I agree on all counts. Ramin is a longer-term member who has a very good grasp
of lens values and trading prices. I can't believe
you actually got a properly working AF 50mm f1.7 lens for $5 unless shipping
cost was over $60. Even if your buy is an
apples-to-apples comparison, it is so very rare and unlikely that your comment
is truly inconsiderate of Ramin't fair price for gear
in prime condition in today's market.
