FS: Schneider 300mm f/4 Apo-Tele-Xenar PQ

[tetrode]

** Now price reduced **.  

Rare and beautiful Schneider 300mm f/4 Tele-Apo-Xenar for the Rollei 600X system.  I've moved totally to small format digital so I'm parting with some of the gems from my medium format collection. This lens will work perfectly well with the latest generation Leaf AFi and Rollei Hy6 digital medium format cameras.  As you can see from the photographs, the lens is in "like new" condition.  I bought it several years ago and used it on only a handful of occasions.  It has lived almost its entire life in a case in the closet. Functionally, the lens is perfect.  The only cosmetic imperfection can be seen in the detail shot of the focusing and aperture rings: The bottom third of the number "5" in "5.6" is missing.  It was missing right out of the box. Other than that, there's nothing to report. Glass is perfect and focusing is smooth.  The lens will come with both original caps and in the original Rollei box.  There's also a Kirk Arca plate shown in one of the photos and that will be included as well.  Current price for this lens at B&H is a staggering $6869. Yikes! My mint copy can be had for a now-reduced price of $3100. Shipping and insurance (via FedEx) anywhere in the CONUS will be a fixed $25.  Local pickup just north of New York City is an option. Please review my 100% positive eBay feedback (dpfreedman700b) and buy with confidence.

I know it's a long time but do you still have this 300mm lens available?

6.5 years. Seriously?
