Selling 2 more of my Nikon macro lens.

1. Kiron 105mm F2.8 lens. Also rebranded as the famous Lester Dine lens. Superb lens and very sharp.

I will upload pictures shortly. Item is in good condition with no issues. Cosmetics are consistent with age and apparent in the pictures. Some of the lettering has faded. Optics are clear.

$200 NET to me

2. Micro Nikkor 55mm F2.8 macro lens. Another excellent sharp copy.

Item is in good condition with no issues. Cosmetically it's in great condition as you can see from the pictures. Optics are clear

$100 NET to me.

3. Astro Berlin 400mm F5.

If you are a fanboy of old school German lenses, you know exactly what this is.

Astro Berlin lenses are tough to come by and when they do, they tend to be very pricey.

Unfortunately, I need to let this go since I need funds for other pursuits.

Cosmetic blemishes are obvious from the pics and totally expected given the age and vintage of this lens. Glass looks clear to me by eye...has the usual cleaning marks.

What is rare about this is it comes with a camera mount....I don't know exactly which camera it;s for but it's a thread mount with a diameter of 44mm that research tells me is likely for a Miranda screw mount camera. But this also means that I have not shot anything using this lens since I never bought any adapter. Luckily adapters are available for most modern camera systems.

(Side note: I also have it's smaller sister (or brother?) : the 300mm F5. It's also in good condition, but it appears to have a small crack towards the edge of the optical element....it's so far to the edge that I don't think it will impact IQ).

Asking for $250 + Shipping and for an additional $50, I will throw in the 300mm F5 as well.
