All:
Earlier today I was contacted by a friend who is selling some of his deceased father's camera gear. I always thought his dad was a small format guy (i.e. 35mm); however, I'm told the family has found a few LF items in his humble stash of goodies. The one item that caught my attention is a Nikon Nikkor-M 200mm F/8 Lens that my friend says is in mint condition. He is holding it for me at a very reasonable price. Before I go visit him to ascertain the true condition and function, I wanted to get confirmation from this group that this is a lens that would be a definite value add to my LF quiver. I've read good things about this lens over the years; however, the f/8 always seemed to be a sticking point with me. Now that I have what sounds like a good opportunity to acquire a nice copy of this lens, I'm thinking I simply need to get over my f/8 problems and pull the trigger.
Your thoughts and comments are sincerely appreciated.
Jeff
BTW, I shoot 4x5 in LF.
