Jeff has two f8 Super Angulon and 3 210 Symmar S lenses, all multicoated, for sale right now at great prices. They are all $175 each. The website says 'poor condition' but not what many would call poor. There was also a 300 mm Symmar S MC in the batch that I bought as much for the shutter as anything else (all black #3 shutter) for $200. The lens just arrived and far from being 'poor' it is what many dealers would call E+ or better. There are some minor marks on the filter ring and on the barrel but no major dings. The shutter seems right on. There is a tiny scuff mark way off near the rim that is visable to the naked eye on the front element. There are a few more very tiny 'cleaning marks' also way off center on the front element, the rear element is pristine. I wa really expecting worse, even though when I talked with Jeff he said "its not tht bad the owner just wanted to move these fast." When it arrived it looked so good I called him to ask about the others so someone here could get the same sort of I deal I got. He said the were not quite as good as my 300 but didn;t really look bad and the glass was definitely very usable. Worth a try I would think for someone that needs either focal length. If they were purchased at the same time as the 300 they are fairly late lenses, the 300 is 14,109,xxx = late 1980's.
Like everythingused I have ever gotten from Jeff or Jim at Midwest the condition is far better than they described it.
Just wanted to pass these goodies along.
