Above is a rare classic from Nikon, a 50-300 ED f 4.5 lens, this lens is big and heavy but really sharp and a classic, they are asking $650. but would entertain an offer.  Below is a real steal, this is the Nikkor<br \/>\n600mm IF-ED f4 lens in absolute mint condition with a Arca Swiss plate and case.  The current auto focus version of this lens goes for almost $12,000.  They are asking $2,999. for this manual focus version.  Once again I would entertain and offer for them.  This is one of the sharpest long lenses Nikon has ever made!  I just bought the little brother to it, the 400 f 3.5 manual focus and love it.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve pictured below some of the other items they have for sale, I will say again everything I\u2019ve seen<br \/>\nfrom the estate has been pristine, Tom really took great care of his gear.  If anyone is interested in any of these items contact me by email with offers.  <a href=\"mailto:billfortney@earthlink.net\">billfortney@earthlink.net<\/a><br \/>\nThe price on each item is their asking price.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any interest in<br \/>\nany of these items shoot me an<br \/>\nemail with your offer and<br \/>\nshipping address, if they accept<br \/>\nit I will arrange for shipment to you and let  you know where to send a check.  This is one of the big advantages of shooting Nikon (sorry slipping into tech rep mode), because we never changed out F mount all these lenses and accessories still work on all our pro and semi pro SLRs.  In a future<br \/>\nentry I\u2019m going to go old school and show what great work can still be done with the older manual lenses, and yes I picked up several items myself.  These are good offers and they would, as I said,<br \/>\naccept offers.<\/p>\n<p>Have a great weekend and thanks again for your prayers.<\/p>\n<p>the pilgrim<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I mentioned in Thursday\u2019s blog entry I\u2019m helping a friend\u2019s widow sell his gear.
