For Sale For Sale: Nikkor(Nikon) 75mm f/4.5 SW in Copal Shutter(4x5 lens)

I'm selling this nice 75mm Nikkor-SW. This is nominally listed as a 4x5 lens, and offers a decent bit of movement at that focal length.

When I was researching wide angle options for 4x5, this is where I ended up. You will find lenses with bigger image circles, that are sharper, or have less distortion or fall off. With many things LF, though, some of those work against each other, and a bigger image circle and/or sharper lens often will be bigger and/or slower, and may cost a small fortune. For me this was the best all around compromise of features for what I needed, and as a nice bonus the f/4.5 maximum aperture makes for bright and easy focusing.

Lens is mounted in a Copal #0 shutter. I do not have a service history on this lens, but it fires reasonably accurately at all speeds.

Nikon front and rear caps are included.

Lens is currently mounted on a Pacemaker Graphic board, and yes it will fit and focus to infinity on a Pacemaker Speed Graphic. It may well be the widest lens you reasonably fit on that camera.

Based on some recent Ebay says, I'm going to try this one at $350+US shipping. Please feel free to make me an offer!

Just a hint for those who wish to sell here, and hope to interest people who view Photrio on smaller screens.

Let's try a day before Thanksgiving bump with a price drop to $325 inc. US Shipping

I may have inadvertently overpriced this one by a lot.

Bump and a price drop to $240. inc. US Shipping.

I doubt that you'll ever find a sharper 75mm than one of these. I've used one for over 20 years and I think that these are fantastic lenses. And the price is a bargain!

Hello,

I realize the last message on this is 4 months old but if this lens is still available I'd like to buy it.
