This multicoated 90mm f/4.5 is the Calumet-branded version of Rodenstock's Grandagon-N and pre-dates the green stripe. It is in excellent condition with almost no signs of use. The glass is clean and clear, the shutter works on all speeds, and the speeds sound appropriate. It accepts 82mm filters and comes with original 85mm front and 70mm rear caps as well as the shutter retaining ring. It weighs 688 grams with caps and retaining ring according to my kitchen scale. The Grandagon/Caltar is almost identical in size and coverage to the 90mm f/4.5 Nikkor-SW. Both take 82mm filters and have the same lens cap sizes, but the Nikkor is in a Copal 0 shutter and weighs slightly less per Nikon's specs.
The 140mm square Sinar board has a Xenophon Pro Gel Holder attached using what looks like double-sided foam tape for holding 4" gel filters behind the lens. The filter holder has enough depth to clear the back of the lens - the lens was mounted on this board when it came my way.
Asking $395 for the lens alone, $35 for the lens board alone, or $420 for the set. Whoever buys the lens has first refusal on the lens board, and the lens board is individually for sale only after the lens has been sold. Prices include insured US shipping as well as PayPal G&S fees.
