Nikkor Lens, Focal Length 200mm, Aperture T2.0. SN: 200472 w/ @ [1191823592:Case]
Century PL mount conversion. pics of front element coming. A popular lens. This was a rental for Clairmont Camera. Keslow Camera Purchased the company and sold of duplicate stock. Two are available and you may have your pick. Would prefer not to ship and can arrange delivery in San Francisco or Los Angeles.

Completely agree - the 200 T.2 Nikkor is a must. For me I find it be the longest useful focal length when shooting in the normal set environment. Trying to employ a 300mm for a close up would involve moving the camera too far away from the set. Don't get me wrong if you have the space a 300mm is great as you can really compress your backgrounds, layer foreground elements, crosses etc... But yeah, the Nikkor 200mm t2 ranks up there as one of my all time favorites. Very sharp, beautiful focus rolloff, matches well with most primes. There are many out there that have been converted to cinema mechanics by Century Precision, Optex and others, you should rent one on a shoot, and you'll quickly see what I mean. On a recent feature project, the director loved the look of that lens so much, we designed the coverage of entire scenes around it, and although sometimes tricky for our focus puller those scenes were my favorite from the film.
