Anything to sell (WTS) or looking for anything specific (WTB)? Anything advertised on this forum comes with the usual "buyer beware" advice; it is up to the purchaser to assure themselves of the integrity of the supplier and item being sold. It is also the responsibility of the seller to ensure that payment is forthcoming before parting with said item.

SOLD - FS 90 F4.5 Rodenstock/Sinar SinaronW MC

Purchased this used from The Pro Centre in 2006 for £825.
Amazingly sharp, far superior to the Nikkor 90 F4.5 (tried a side by side test) and my absolute No.1 lens on the 5x4.
Lens board and outer lens body have some marks, which is how I purchased it. Front and rear elements are in beautiful condition with as far as I can see 1 tiny pin prick sized mark on the coating in the very centre of the front element. This certainly hasn't caused me any troubles over the last 3 years.
Comes with a Lee Filters adaptor, lee front lens cover and sinar rear lens cap & photobackpacker lens case.
Totally open to offers, would estimate the lens value at around £475 (total guess). I'm also happy to offer a 7 day approval. If you want to purchase the lens, try it out and return it (in the same condition it came to you please) if not happy.
Never seen a lens like this come up for sale before.

A few weeks ago, my mint Rodenstock Grandagon-N 4.5/90mm (your Sinar version is identical, except the condition) sold for 850 EUR in no time at all. Your price seems very fair. This is really the best 90mm lens that I have every used.
