I'm trimming my colection of lenses to fund a venture into rangefinder territory and I have realised that this one is very rarely used, so my very nice Leitz 500mm mirror lense is for sale.

The deal includes the original lens box (very nice) and filters, cf. below picture.

It is presently converted to Nikon F (thank you leitax!), but you can get it with the original Leica R mount, if you are not interested in the F mount. If you want the F mount, I suggest you also take the R mount, so you have the possibility to re-convert the lens to R mount (very easy on this model).

I have seen these lenses advertised AND SOLD on eBay for very high prices:

This one sold for USD995: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Leica-MR-Telyt-8-0-500mm-Mint-3256392-/130402400650?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Camera_Lenses&hash=item1e5c96b98a

This one has a BIN price of USD 1,249: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Leica-R-8-500-mm-MR-Telyt-R_W0QQitemZ370389545439QQcategoryZ3323QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp4340.m263QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DDLSL%252BSIC%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BIEW%252BFICS%252BUFI%26otn%3D8%26pmod%3D130402400650%252B130402400650%26po%3D%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D7456797050989710092

I'm looking for reasonable offers below this and I'm open to suggestions, even trade-in with M-lenses (e.g. Leica or Voigtländer).

If you make an offer, plesae indicate whether you want the F mount or not; it represents a value of app. €70 and I can use it if you do not want it...

I have a 100% record on eBay (although based on only 18 ratings); payment through PayPal, shipping at buyer's cost - a word of warning: shipping is fairly expensive out of Denmark!

I own this lens too. For me one of the best (maybe the best) 8/500 mirror on the market.

I'm afraid, no. I've got a Tamron SP 8/500 mirror lens.
Since I do not shoot this FL that often, it's good enough for me. Wink
