Fujinon T 600/12 (Tele) opinions?

[karin bingel]

Has anybody ever had first hand expierience with this lens? I shoot 6X17 and I am very satisfied with the 500/720 Nikon combination I already own but the
flange focal distance of 32 cms of the Fujinon lens is very tempting and it can serve as an alternative/backup lens to the Nikon which even used, is impossible to find nowdays.

I own the Fujinon T 600. Excellent lens. I use it on an Arca-Swiss 4x5.

I have no experience with this lens on a 6x17 camera.

I have the Nikkor 360, but not the 500/720 rear elements because I got the Fujinon. The Fujinon at 600 mm nicely falls in the middle of the 500/720 range.

If you have the money and nothing else to spend it on, get the Fujinon. To get the Fujinon simple for back-up perposes seems extreme, but hey, I don't have your deep pockets. Grin.

We in Europe, do need deeper pockets ... Badger Graphic price for the above mentioned lens USD 1625, Robert White price USD 3100 with todays exchange rate. It is my turn to grin.
