Well, I still have a very, very clean and pretty screwmount 85mm f/1.8 (Super-Multi-Coated Takumar, with matching hood, caps, and case) for sale for $300. Aside from slight wear on the auto-manual switch and a bit of wear on the case, it looks just about perfect. I keep posting it and no one ever actually buys it, so if anybody wants to contact me to express interest periodically, please presume that it remains on offer.
