They only produced these in small numbers for 50th and 60th anniversary editions afaik.
But they're very well regarded from what I hear, expect the price to go at least as high as the EF versions.
(i've got my bid in, but they'll probably go for thousands)

If you get it, do you want me to pick it up for ya? I plan on being back in Australia in a couple years, and should be able to drop it off then. Just trying to save you some shipping charges. That's what we're here for, right. ;)

yeah, just got an email this morning, listing removed for some reason or the other (didn't break any rule I could see).
That's a shame, these Zeiss f/1.2 lenses only come up every few months, and go for shiteloads when they do. They're on my long-term "when i win the lottery" shopping list along with the leica M and 50/0.95, Zoomatar 240/1.3 and EF1200/5.6
