An exceptionally RARE and unusual set
These almost never come up on the market and the only other set is available for $150,000 overseas with x4/5 sets ( approx $37500 for each set )
A modest price and this particular set with the 50mm 1.4 is considered to be the second most valuable of the 5 sets beside the 35mm 1.4 set.
Real platinum finish. Rare and spectacular
A pleasure to have and enjoy!
