400 USD for a Nikon Nikkor-T*ED 360mmf/8 Large Format Telephoto Lens in Copal 1 shutter; I'm interested in buying one, but the rarely are for sale (at least, I don't see them often). It has both the 360 and 500 element.
Thanks,
Stefan.

That's probably 1/3 the going rate.
My mistake: it's only with the 360mm element. I didn't know it's the rear element that makes the difference between 360 and 500, and since I saw on two different pictures an inscription for 360 and on another for 500 ..
Still a good deal then, I suppose ?
Thanks,
Stefan
I'm no lens expert and have never used a convertible lens but don't you need both elements for the shortest focal length?
I would definitely wait for a quality answer on here before I bought. I hope this helps.
Maybe I misunderstood. You maybe have the front element and the 360mm rear element?
Alan,
the REAR lens elements are interchangeable, the front stays put, the rear gets swapped out to change to a new/different focal length. In this case 360mm or 500mm. Nikon(Nikkor) also made a 600/800/1200 T(telephoto design, so shorter bellows draw than the actual length of FL) that can be used on formats up to 8x10.
see here for some more info on the 360/500T lens:
