Urban, I saw an ad for the Lynx in a 1960's photo mag that Peter Robinson kindly gave me earlier this summer when we met up at the London Photographica fair. Despite being a huge fan of the Electro 35 Yashicas and owning both a GSN and a GTN, I'm ashamed to say that I had never heard of the Lynx series before, let alone the Lynx 14 with it's awesome f1,4 lens.
I looked at the ad in the magazine with something approaching a 'Eureka moment' and resolved there and then to hunt one down on evilBay. Little did I know that other vintage camera fans out there had already locked their beady little eyes on the Lynx 14 and I had quite a time tracking one down for under £100 (or $100 plus shipping from North America). Finally I got lucky with that perfect storm of an eBay listing: a seller who doesn't really know what they have on their hands, an inaccurate description and a terrible photo. A week later it was mine for £30
It's not exactly mint (the front ring which holds the filters is damaged pretty badly) and it needs some cleaning, but the lens is really clean, the actions are all smooth and the RF is nice and clear. It needs a battery, but it can work manually too so I'll use it that way if the battery from my GTN doesn't work in it.
