For Sale <SOLD> Nikkor-T * ED 500mm f/11, Telephoto

[tim48v]

Beautiful lens but just a bit too long for my style. Note: this is a telephoto design, so before you ask:
bellows extension, focus at infinity - approx 350mm
focus at 12'- approx 440mm

Glass is clean except for a few dust specks.
Aperture blades clean; move smoothly.

Shutter is pretty close (my measurements, believed accurate but not guaranteed.):
Marked = measured
1 sec = 1.1 sec
1/2 = 1/2.3
1/4 = 1/4
1/8 = 1/8
1/15 = 1/16
1/30 = 1/29
1/60 = 1/56
1/125 = 1/103
1/250 = 1/170
1/400 = 1/260

Includes both lens caps and retaining ring.

My understanding of these is that the 360,500 and 720 share one front element.
In your photos it looks as if you have the 720 in front with the 500 in the rear and no front element.
Please clarify
Thanks

Here's a shot taken with this lens on Foma 200. The church is about 1.2 miles away. I've included a cropped zoom for your entertainment.
