For Sale APO-Lanthar 180 mm f/4 SL Close focus lens with Ai-s Nikon mount. Also included in my sale is the rare Rectangular Voigtlander Lenshood. Both pieces are mint and in original boxes.
This true APO lens is sharp wide-open and has beautiful bokeh. It is also built like a tank but petite in size. If you subscribe to Lloyd C's site, you will know that he has rated this lens very high and has posted on his blog that he would sell his copy for $2000. Mine is for sale for $725 shipped in the US. I will accept Postal MO or paypal echeck. For regular paypal, please add 3%.
Just sold and shipped mine and these pics are giving me bad case of "wtf did I just do..?" ;> Free bump for an awesome hunk of glass and a great seller/photog.
Tell me about it (regret). Budgets and incurable GAS just don't correlate to keeping every lens we love. That said, my 200 Mamiya is a sweet image-cutting machine.
What I DO know is that my 90/3.5 APO is NEVER going anywhere. As amazing as the IQ of the 180/4 is, the 90 is just that bit sweeter -- and that's saying something. Hell, if I ever come across a 2nd unit somewhere, I may even pick up a backup.
GRT_NAPA lets see some shots when you get the sucker.
