Title: Nikkor 300mm f/2 and 360-1200mm f/11
Post by: atpaula on September 30, 2016, 01:30:06: Where else in the world could you find these two gems in the same store for sale?
Tokyo, of course.

Aprox. US$ 19500

Post by: Akira on September 30, 2016, 01:58:36: FWIW, the 300/2.0 comes also with the dedicated TC-14C!

Incidentally I've seen Ais 1200/11.0 IF ED last year in another shop in Shinjuku which was priced 298,000 JPY.

I haven't seen this particular sample of 300/2.0 yet, but this particular 360-1200 zoom is indeed in a great condition.

No turning handles, no lens shade HN-17? Operating this humongous and physically very long lens without the 4 handles is not easy. To say the least. One also need to rebuild the tripod mounting arrangement as it is very underdimensioned.

Sometimes I still regret selling off my 300/2. However, I did keep the TC-14C.

The 360-1200 zoom comes with the original aluminum case. I don't remember if it also comes with the hood and levers.

With large lenses, sometimes camera stores keep the accessories in the camera case which they've stashed behind the counter. That makes for a cleaner display. But it's good to know about the handles, on the off chance I can somehow afford one of these lenses someday.

I was in Tokyo last year and only saw the shops around Shinjuku.
Where was this?
