I want everyone to read my original post, It didn't say 30 days ago, it said last month. And another thing, I was polite in asking "Has anyone had a problem with eBay seller Dagor77?"
It's a simple question, until Mr. Dagor77 got offended. You defended him with great ( ). He is busy and may have gone on a fishing trip....He may be going to the mountains....
I sent him an email and said "Did you ship the lens yet?" Yep C
In his ad:
He said:
"This is a barrel lens, there is no shutter. For mounting information you may want to give this site a visit...www.skgrimes.com. Steve is no longer with us and will be more than just missed. The workshop that he started will be carrying on, the same web address is still valid, It has a lot of handy links and is a good source of information."

Thank you for the inquiry. I do not have any direct experience with this particular lens and would need to examine it in order to determine the appropriate shutter for remounting. Depending on the required shutter, a typical lens remounting ranges in price from 450.00 - 725.00 + s/h. This price includes the right engraved iris scale for your lens and mounting the finished lens and shutter to your lens board. There is an additional charge if a retaining/flange needs to be supplied. The work takes about four to six weeks here in the shop. Other additional items you might consider are a standard receiving filter adapter and custom made lens caps.
Would you pay 3/4 of a grand to mount a process lens in a shutter?
Thanks for sending the lens

I ask all of you out there one question. Who, execpt the crazy, would mount a process lens of no probable value in a mounting of up to $725.00?
What do you think you could get in a new in a 209 +/-mm for that combined amount?
Sorry I have to cut this short but my plane is leaving for Africa, I'm dirt biking in the Himm's this weekend.
