Long story short: I ended up with two of these while searching for a 250mm WF Ektar.
The Ektar, to my great surprise, was found after only a few days.
Last week I sold a copy of this lens in excellent condition, now I am selling the remaining copy, in fair condition.

I have no lens board for this, I am unable to try it out, but I offer a full refund if you're not completely satisfied.

Fuji 250mm f6.7 in Seiko shutter
IC 398mm

Glass:
Paint inside the barrel is flaking off (Fuji-itis); from my experience, and there's much in Google-land to support this, the Fuji-itis has no effect on image quality
Overall, glass looks good, some wispy-looking things on the front element
Rear element has a small cleaning mark

Barrel:
Fair shape, some very minor dents and other signs of use
Somewhere between "has seen better days" and "looks great!"

Shutter
The always-reliable, built-to-last Seiko shutter
Larger than a Copal 1 by a few mm, you will need to drill or file your Copal 1 lens board
1s lags slightly, other speeds sound good and consistent
B only, no T

Included:
New cable release, used only a couple of times
Sorry, no caps; if I find something that fits, I will include it
I will pack it very carefully despite the missing caps

Because of its physical condition, and because I can't test it first, I will offer it for $275 plus shipping, Paypal fees included.
Full refund if not 100% satisfied.
I ship worldwide.

Thanks

I'm dropping this slightly to $250 plus shipping, Paypal fees included.

After a better inspection of the shutter (I allowed it time to warm up after a week spent in transit), I find that speeds from 1/30 and slower all lag slightly.
The lag seems to be consistent, but that's just my ear talking.
And the shutter cocking lever could use a slight lubricating; once in a while it stops momentarily on its way back to rest position.
So, I'd advise a CLA, but not necessarily right away.
