actually, prices on used hassy C lenses in particular are becoming rather
reasonable for the more common 150mm, 50mm, 250mm, and similar kit lenses.
If you compare them against say Kowa 6x6cm leaf shutter lens prices, let
alone Rollei SLX series, they aren't hugely overpriced anymore. Paying
$400 for a 150C lens is not surprising anymore, while five years ago they
were $1,000 and up ;-) [http://medfmt.8k.com/mf/kowapg.html kowa price
guide shows many 150mm kowa lenses priced by dealers in past near that
$400 point - or above ;-) ] These prices are a good bit more than classic
bronica nikkors or even Kiev lenses, but they don't have leaf shutters
etc. So if one ever wanted a hasselblad multi-lens kit, this seems like a
good time to buy one ;-)
