Yeah, much nicer lens for less than half. It would be one thing if the foton was a great lens, but it's more of a specialty item, and has limited utility.

Still interested if the price is right. Come at me with a counter offer. I can buy the same lens tomorrow, with the Foton A adapter re-coated with modern coatings, and a PL mount for $4k. The last one on ebay went for a lot less than $2k a week ago. I think you have a nice lens, I would like to buy it. I think your price is unrealistic.

At any rate, you are a decent guy, and I appreciate the business we have done in the past.

Cheers,

Nick

Take it for 4k, Nick. Without PL mount.

 

[Rick LaLonde]

4K is a good deal for the shape it looks to be in. I have a Foton square front and it is as sharp to my eye as my square front primes.

The one on ebay did go for a low price but it was in non-operable condition to be fair.

Thank you, Rick, for your fair comment.
