For Sale $390 Nikon 500mm f4 P ais ed (I think that's all the labels?)

[Gram Nylén]

Manual Focus Nikon 500mm f4 P AIS ED. Link to pictures:

• a really fun and interesting bright nikon telephoto prime. I believe this was one of nikon's last professional manual focus lenses ever introduced.
• Overall in fine user condition with some external signs of wear but nothing significant
• aperture is clean and responsive
• optics are free of any cleaning marks and very clean but there is some very very light etching (hard to see) from long gone fungus. This etching does not impact your images
• original trunk/case included
• original hood included
• aperture lock works and CPU contacts are clean (Yes! This is a nikon manual focus lens with an aperture lock and CPU contact pins!)
• $390 plus shipping or I will consider trades for anything from FujiFilm in any format or infrared film.

Approximately yes (6lbs according to google).

What size filters does it require?
Does it have a tripod connection on the lens bottom?
Thanks

This lens does have a tripod collar and the lens takes 39mm drop in filters and I believe there are no front filter threads.

If I were a wildlife photographer I’d snap that right up.

Before I left Nikon I had one of these - it is an excellent lens in IQ and build quality. The price is crazy good. GLWS
