Ebay Bargain...

I just purchased an old Nikkor beater 200mm f4 AI that works perfect.

$3.49 + 5.57 shipping.

Here's the listing. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NIKON-Ai-200MM-F4-NIKKOR-Q-LENS-/231050577999?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&nma=true&si=byq5OaikVf83kp4PoslW1X46FUo%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc


Anyone else find a true deal or steal off ebay?

So, what are body are you going to use it with? For a modern body it may require a filing of the aperture ring....like this:

It is an AI lens and fits any Nikon body old and new. I just used it on my D3s to check out. It allows weighted and spot metering only.

Today I bought Zeiss Ikon Contessa for a $1.00 and a Sylvania Sun Gun for $0.50 (not on ebay). At a Barn sale just around the corner. >-

p.s. All seems to work.

I have shot with one of those on my D800 and my D7000. They are interesting lenses. Looks like you got a heck of a deal.

That is a good deal, most copies I've seen on eBay go for $70.

OK, let's see the results of the new lens, please. Here is what the old 300mm f/4.5 from 1967 does:
