For Sale FS: Rodenstock Apo Sironar-S 360mm f/6.8 Mint $999

[philosomatographer]

This is a very rare find indeed. A truly mint example of a Linhof-engraved Rodenstock Apo Sironar-S, in an as-new Copal 3 shutter.
You could almost buy this just to experience a perfect shutter in this size, but of course the optics are spectacular.
A great portrait / shallow field lens even on 4x5in (I used it on my Technika V) but of course this will really sing on 8x10 or larger formats.

Please carefully inspect the attached images to see the great condition this lens is in. I include the Technika lensboard - which is missing it's logo :-/

This lens is pretty much spoken for (karl, and several others in line) - I need to get shipping quotes over the next day or so, thanks for all the interest!
I'll post here if, for some reason, all the potential sales fall through

Well, this lens is now officially sold. Due to all the interest, I am afraid a there have been a number of disappointments, especially because this has turned into a bit of an off-line "bidding game" where I have given preference to a local buyer, something I never intended so. Sorry for disappointing a couple of people, and may the new owner enjoy this special lens.
