FSNikon Nikkor 450mm M

I am offering for sale a beautiful Nikon 450mm M large format lens. This 450mm lens is small and lightweight for a lens with a long focal length. The lens fits the Copal 3 shutter (aperature range of 9 to 128) that is working normally throughout its range. The lens is multicoated Tessar design that delivers exceptionally sharp images with high contrast and flare resistance. The image circle of the lens is 440mm at f22 and the front filter thread size is 67mm. This remarkable lens covers 8x10 through 11x14 format sizes with camera movements. Your camera requires 500mm of bellows extension to focus at infinity. The lens is in mint condition without any damage to the lens or barrel. There are a couple of scratches on the original front lens cap. I purchased this lens directly from Rod Klukas (Arca Swiss dealer) from one of his clients and have not used the lens.
