210mm APO W - Yellow Ring?

[dodphotography]

A friend is looking for one of these... I wasn’t sure if a yellow ring was ever made in the 210 range. I’ve only ever seen a 150 W with yellow ring.

Can someone confirm?

Yup. 150, 210, 300 all late production with the yellow ring. Earlier variations sans yellow ring are more common. The 210 is an amazing lens, but you'll run out of coverage on 8x10 before you like. Had the 300 briefly, but it was huge, so I never took it out.

I’m helping him find one... I’m sure this is going to run him a few pennies!

Yes, they have certainly become more expensive over the last few years. But a lot the sellers on Ebay are hopeful rather than realistic. 210 was about $1000 a few years ago. Still around $1200 now. People are tying to get silly money out of the 150 and 300 these days.
