PRICE DROP TO $1600

Ah this one hurts to let go. I thought it was going to be a forever lens for me.
The best normal lens you can get for the Nikon system.

Optics are pristine/mint. No scratches, fungus, separation.
Tiny amount of wear on the body as shown, otherwise perfect.
Aperture blades clean and focus throw is smooth as hell.

No hood. Canon lens cap, Zeiss rear cap.
IQ and results are stunning. Sharpest you can get at 1.4, yet OOF is butters.

Buyer pays PayPal fees and $25 shipping
Lens + Sample images attached

Hi John, Nice lens photos, I don't understand "Sharpest you can get at 1.4, yet OOF is butters" but for whatever reason, the model results look like worse than if they were taken on a Kodak Instamatic 25 and enlarged on a milk bottle lens, not something that should be capable of a resolving a few hundred LPM or 10K PPI - Something went wrong on the upload/export for sure. - Could you post a RAW please? - Thanks!

Hello. Thanks for the input.

those are film black and white photos. Maybe the upload decreased perceived sharpness / rendering.

there are tons of sample images online however. . A quick search should help you.
