A fabulous set and a great investment
These sets were nearly 1/2 the value only a few short years ago.
The most desirable is the 35mm f2 version 4 KOB King of Bokeh that has risen in value to $7000 for the this one lens alone.
The special M6 along with the brass body lenses, 35mm, 50mm and 90mm all of which are now discontinued
Very limited and really fantastic.
Recently a set sold at auction for 28,800 EURO and others offer them for nearly that price.
This is a great deal on a fabulous set that will continue to rise.
A pleasure to have and enjoy!
