Available


Price: $900.00
Payment method: PayPal
Item condition: 8+ Shows moderate wear or finish marks
Shipping instructions: Buyer pays, and will be using Canada Post


Price listed is USD. For Paypal, please add 3%. Canadian buyers can PM me and we can figure out a reasonable exchange rate for USD -> CAD.

I'd prefer to sell within Canada, but I will also sell to USA. The buyer pays shipping through Canada post. I plugged in some rough dimensions and it looks like shipping is around ~$50USD for shipping to NYC (as an example). I'm shipping from near Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

I have purchased several items here over the past few years, however this is my first time selling an item on FM.

I'm selling my nikkor 400mm f3.5 ed-if lens. I purchased this lens from here in fredmiranda (https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1081141), and have enjoyed it for a few years. I'm now planning to upgrade and I'd like to find a nice home for this lens. Comes with rear cap and a leather soft front cap.

- There is no fungus or oil inside (but there is little specs of dust, as with all lenses of this age, but doesn't affect image quality)
- Glass is in great condition
- aperture clicks and all positions hold
- focus is smooth
- signs of age on the barrel (paint wear, to be expected)
- Same condition as I received it. I have never dropped the lens since I've owned it.

The lens is almost exactly the same as I received it from Tri Tran ~4 years ago. I say almost, because I have added a Dandelion chip for metering/stop focus. The chip allows it to meter on lower end camera bodies, as well you can focus trap. If you look at this post here, It's the exact same mod that I did:
https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1217790

It's an easy mod, you can remove the mount, and then I used a Dremel and then a file + steel wool to smooth it. Then Epoxy the dandelion in and program it.

You can see the pictures below of the mount removed from the barrel while I was working on it, this ensures no metal bits would fall into the lens when I was Dremeling (that would be bad).

You can see the lens still takes beautiful pictures, the Chickadee feather details are superb. I was able to get the picture of the vulture using trap focus, and a bit of luck/skill.

Price: $50.00
Payment method: PayPal
Item condition: 9 Shows signs of use, but very clean
Shipping instructions: Buyer pays, and will be using Canada Post


Purchased from ebay for use with the 400mm f3.5 I'm selling.
Comes with rear cap only (I never got front cap when I received it). Not much to say here, great condition glass, no marks/fungus. I have used this a lot when taking pictures with the 400mm, plus acts as a dust cover (rear element) on the lens.

Item condition: 9 Shows signs of use, but very clean

Purchased from ebay for use with the 400mm f3.5 I'm selling.
Comes with front and rear caps. Glass in great condition, no marks/fungus. This was purchased because it can stack with the 14B or 301, if you wanted to try to take some moon shots. Didn't end up using it that much. You will notice there is a close up photo of a little mechanism inside. I don't know if it is supposed to bend or be straight, however it hasn't caused me any problems in my usage of it. I don't know if that bend is normal or not (it was like that when I got it), but it has not cause me any problems. Comes with the box as seen in pictures.
