Hektor 7.3cm f1.9
I hate being one of those people, but I’m genuinely not sure how to go about this otherwise. So what’s it worth? I’m not a collector and honestly it’s too nice to use.

We have your lens done.
Hektor 73/1.9 CLA’d, cleaned, and lubricated both aperture and focus rings. Cleaned each element and removed haze inside. The lens is now clean and clear, considering its age. Test the lens with a digital m body; the lens is in focus and produces good images.
I’ve used it twice. The serial number falls outside of the known ranges (not sure if that helps?). I need to take better pictures, but these are what I have currently. It comes with the original box, caps, and hood (the hood isn’t in great condition).
So what’s this even likely worth? Best way to honestly value it? Sell it? I’ll probably sell or trade it, but definitely want a ballpark on the value.
