FS: Caltar II-N 90mm f6.8

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.

FS: Caltar II-N 90mm f6.8

Post by Phil_T » Mon Dec 27, 2010 7:15 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00

Caltar II-N 90mm f6.8 in Copal 0 Shutter in superb condition. Serial No. 10379495. Original Caltar front and back caps + retaining ring

This is essentially a Rodenstock lens that was sold under the Calumet house brand in the US. I've looked closely for flaws and can't find any - the only thing I can mention is a few marks on the front lens cap. I've used it a fair bit over the past few months and got some very sharp results, I'm only selling because I also have a Nikkor 90 f4.5 that is a bit easier to work with in low light.

I paid £280 with import duty about 6 months ago and I'm asking £260 + shipping at cost and paypal fees. Would prefer to sell within the UK at the moment but I'm open to persuasion.

Pics to follow tomorrow but the lens is basically mint so there's not much to see that a stock photo won't show you.

It's superb lens and that's a great price, I've had mine the Grandagon - version for over 20 years, and they are outstandingly sharp performers and remarkably flare free.

I'm probably going to stick this on ebay tomorrow if I can get around to it so now's the time for offers if anyone's interested.
