A little help please re: the above---I'm perhaps interested in this used lens for approx $800. I understand it was/is a very good lens. I'm interested in adding a longer/tele lens to my lens selection, the longest at this time being a Schneider APO 210mm & using it on an AS 4x5 field camera. I do not intend to go much farther into 300+, 400+ range. Question: is this a good lens/buy, workable on my AS system etc?
Question: what lens board AS (type-size) & coupling ring would be needed for this specific lens or might the existing lens boards I now have work on this Nikon?
(Nikkor 65mm, Nikkor 90mm, Rodenstock 115mm, Ektar 152mm--all AS lens boards)
One other thought: The cost of new lenses in this size (300 give or take) are high, IMO, however, in pricing Fujinon, a 240 or the 300, are somewhat more acceptable. Would I be wise going in this direction rather than the used Nikon 300? An added problem is that Badger Graphic do not have these lenes in stock & Jeff said they are hard to get.
Your thoughts, suggestions & help is appreciated.
