I think that £60 is about the right Mark, not least as there is variability in the 1,1`s and Richard is new to them.Sometimes its hard to spot floors just looking at the lens and of course through the post.!!!!! I`m not a big fan of the squeeze all you can out of it approach on ebay either. I`ll often sell stuff cheaper to a newbie and give a film or two as well, etc and don`t like the approach that many have of seeing them as a mine to be worked out with naff stuff, and it happens a lot, happened to me. If the hobby is going to survive and move on I think prices have to go fall a bit more for stuff, as its getting on and the comparrison with new formats is very stark indeed and I think highest you can get prices will put off many people coming to the hobby. After all you can buy say a 2 or 3 year old video projector with an absolutely great and floorless lens for about £200 notes up now. Value wise, I`d say about the £60 for that 1,1, about £90 for a 1,0 and about £75 for a xenovaron 1,1, more than enough for any of them as at any time they can start to bloom up( or may be already)and the difference in quality. If you get it Richard hope its a good un and you enjoy it. best Mark.
