Here's another item from what my wife calls my "lens museum" - the too-many LF lenses in various focal lengths that simply don't get used.
This one is an absolutely beautiful 300mm f/8.5 Fujinon-C with caps and retaining ring. The glass is lovely, as are the shutter cosmetics. Speeds 1/30 and slower are within 1/4-stop, faster speeds run about 1/2-stop slow, with 1/400 being just a bit worse than that. Coverage is stated by Fuji as 380mm at f/22, so allows for generous movements on 8x10, 7x11, or 5x12. This is a really nice lens with no issues beyond the few unavoidable specks of dust.
Why sell it? Well, I've got a comparably-nice 300mm Nikkor-M and another heavier 300 as well. It just doesn't make sense to keep them all, especially since the Nikkor and Fujinon are nearly identical, so I basically flipped a coin and the Fujinon won (or lost, depending on your point of view).
The lowest-priced one on eBay right now is $555 BIN with no takers. KEH has one in LN- at $668, and there are several in that price range on eBay as well. How about $475 including insured US shipping? International shipping would add some cost, contact me...
