Great example. Glass is clear, with minimal dust or maybe less than typical. A few marks on the barrel are about it. Both Nikon lens caps are included as is the retaining ring. These are listed for big bucks on eBay. I'm asking $2,600 OBO plus shipping, Paypal in the US. Shutter tests are as follows:

I don't think Ralph realised this lens covers 10"x12" at f22, according to Nikon, has a 400mm image circle, and is a really nice wide angle lens for a 10x8 camera. A late 165mm f8 Super Angulon in a Copal #3 would be just as expensive compared to lenses designed to cover 5x4 or 7x5 at a push.
I didnt pay that much for mine either, but it was 10 years ago. Fantastic lens; there is no alternative if you need the coverage. I got rid of mine because I never got an 8 x10 monorail camera to use it, and it was too big for my 8x10 field camera.
