And after seeing what he did with his lenses, including a Canon 200 f/1.8 that he sold on FM... I suspect his 300 f/2 wasn't in the best of shame, either.

This will be a REAL test of Rafael's commitment to manual focus Nikon lenses... Of course, it will also be a test of how robust his bank account is after the stock market contraction... as well as whether he's still getting those big checks from Raytheon...
Those of you who've been around for a long time will recall when an active member of this thread, Gregory Rogalsky from Calvary, Canada decided that he HAD to begin shooting video. Because Canon was well ahead of the field at the time, he chose to sell most of his extensive kit of Nikon MF glass, INCLUDING his copy of the 300 f/2 that he kept showing us in photos of himself hand-holding the lens. Not many of these were made... fewer than 500. Honestly, I recall seeing prices higher than this in the past... so this MAY be a real deal! Roberts Camera is a reputable outfit who know the market. Have at it Rafael.
