I really would like to own a lens (or try) a lens from the rodenstock apo sironar s line...what would be today's used price for the apo sironar s 300mm f/5.6?

Your best bet is to follow the guidance for evaluating the price of things shown as a sticky thread at the top of this forum. I don't see any for sale at KEH, but tracking sales on ebay, or checking other retailers of used gear, will get you an idea, with some patience.

If you want to buy such a lens, post a wanted-to-buy in the For-Sale/Wanted forum. Sellers can then tell you what they think their lens is worth, if anyone wants to sell one. Then, you can decide.

Sorry yes I am aware of the new sticky for evaluating prices but I wasn't sure if I should post a WTB thread without first knowing the estimated used prices (which I couldn't find any...yet)


I'll keep looking and will probably post a WTB feeler thread soon

I'd expect north of a thousand bucks for a nice one. Just to give you an idea.

KEH has a 210 listed right now that they want $999.00 for. I've seen them go for less on Ebay. I have seen 240's go for close to a grand on Ebay. I suspect a 300 will probably go for more than a 240.

A nice one sold on ebay last month for 1.5k.

Agreed, $1k+ probably. A 150, which is considered the best 150 available for 4x5, regularly fetches $650-800. the 150 is more common than the 300.

Also, the Rodenstock Apo-Sironar-S 300mm lens... Was more than 3x the cost of its little brother (Apo-Sironar-S 150mm) -- When 'New'.
