I have just purchased a Fujinon f5.6 300mm "S" lens. I'm looking to economically upgrade my 8x10 gear as my current lens selection is rather archaic. I have not been able to find any information on this lens.
It comes in a "silver" Copal #3 shutter and from photos appears to be single coated. I have a number of Fuji lenses for my other formats and have always been pleased with their performance. This lens does not
appear in a 1979 catalog I have nor is it mentioned in all the on-line sources normally cited. I'm thinking it is an earlier "L" design, Tessar? (though someone on another board thought it might be a convertible and
someone also mentioned that it might be actually in a Copal 3s shutter), perhaps a not for export lens. This copy is supposed to be quite clean and I got it at a reasonable rate.129084
