For Sale Nikkor 500mm f/5 mirror lens

[rbender]

Nikkor 500mm f/5 mirror lens. I would rate this a BGN grade (KEH). The shade has a bump that has been there since i bought it, few spots on the glass but no scratches, smooth focus. It's sharp but not an ED IF nikkor. Priced accordingly. $325.00. Check ebay for comparable prices. It includes all 5 filters, the UV filter is on the lens in the photos and a quick focus handle custom made.

PayPal only. Buyer pays shipping and paypal fees. U.S. ship only.

I love mine. Fast. Shallow depth of field for a catadioptric lens, which I love for sports and nature. Camera body is definitely an accessory on this lens, I generally hold the lens while focusing if not using a support. Yes, I throw away a lot of shots when shooting moving subjects, but have had nice results shooting soccer, power boat racing, and water skiing with this lens as long as the shutter speed is 1/1000 or better. Really prefer 1/2000. I'm guessing this is the largest Nikkor that can be handheld by most people. I'm very jealous of the focusing handle!

It's a nice lens but i'm not using it enough. Needs a new home so it might get used.
