Hello experts,
I have acquired two Ross Express 53mm wide angle f/4 lenses but I cannot determine the value and I need your help. You can find an attached photos of one of them and they are both nearly identical.
I have searched far and wide and there are multiple 4 inch f/4 but none of the 53 mm f/4 version. I have found the 53mm f1.9 which sells for over twenty thousand and the 53mm f2.9 version sells for around £5,000 but those are no wide angle and they are Double Gauss design so quite different.

Many thanks

How much did you pay? That’s probably the market value.
