Description This is the legendary 105mm Apo EL-NIKKOR lens.  Originally designed as an enlarging lens, it can also be used as a process lens or, by the expert user, on a view camera.  I purchased this lens new from B&H Photo after reading numerous stories and reviews about it from photographers such as Michael Johnston, Arthur Kramer, and Ctein.  It is simply the best enlarging lens ever produced by anybody. Condition is "as new".  I never used it.  At the time I bought it I was shooting primarily 4x5 (Linhof MT2000).  I purchased it when I heard that Nikon had discintinued it and could not afford to do another production run at anywhere near its already lofty price.  I called B&H and grabbed one while I could, thinking I would use it someday.  If you are looking for a new Apo EL-NIKKOR, this is it. The Fine Print:  Please ask questions before bidding!  This item is not returnable.  It is totally pristine.  It is the Real Deal.  I will not ship it to someone who is curious or just wants to try it.  It is extremely rare and the condition is factory perfect.  I will not jeopardize that with someone mishandling it and returning it.  Don't even think about bidding of you have low or negative feedback - save us both the hassle and bandwidth.  Please don't ask me to end the auction early or for a Buy it Now price.  I will ship Fedex Insured to verified Paypal accounts only.  I reserve the right to not ship internationally.  Ebay does not offer me the option of quoting a Fedex shipping fee.  I listed it as UPS 2nd Day, but I will be shipping via Fedex 2-Day service or other Fedex service as buyer requires.  Item ships from 63114 - St. Louis, Missouri.
