    There's another one for sale on ebay right now for just $12,000 - but this one has a shutter!

    If you could hook-up a camera back to, film or digital, and mount it on a drive this would be good setup for astrophotography

    What a shutter !

    Well, $12000 is the starting bid...

    For digital it would be better a regular telescope. But we can imagine it with a huge glass plate and over reinforced tracking gear...

    Wow, I sold two or three of the very long Apo Nikkor process lenses many years ago for a very small fraction of that.

    Hmmm ... I bought one less than 6 months ago for a lot less than that and two were sold in 2017 around the $5k mark

    What the auction site says it sold for is not always what it sold for imho ... but data is data ... the lower cost one never sold ...

    Cheers,

    Rudy, I'm curious if you have used it yet or if you plan to do so...

    Using such a glass is not a joke....
