You can get some good deals, however they are fewer and further between. I
recently picked up an old 1950s book that I have only heard about before,
'Photographic Optics by Greenleaf . This was not exactly inexpensive,
however having looked around for it a while ago it ain't that common either!
Thanks for the bookfinder URL - it seems that I paid less than half the
going rate for a copy of the book. A result!
Those LF lenses are still going for more than you can buy them for new
though...... unbelievable...
Cheers,
