I've had this lens for a long time. I used it for a portrait project on my Century Universal 8x10. This will easily cover 11x14, probably larger as well. I think image circle is about 440mm at f22, some have reported it will cover 12x20.
It' in great shape. The shutter works perfectly. The glass is clear with a few dust specs on the inside that could probably be wiped by removing the front and rear element groups. Shutter and aperture blades are clear of oil or any marks. I'll include the lens board with retaining ring.
This is the predecessor of the Nikkor M series lenses, and is NOT a process lens. It's very sharp and has a very pleasing OOF rendering IMHO. I've done some research and in the last few years the ones I found have sold for between $450 and $575 depending on condition. I'm asking for $525, which I think is reasonable, but the buyer pays the PayPal fees (that are getting crazy). I will pay for shipping to anywhere in contiguous USA and Canada.
Don't hesitate to send questions...
