More: The Rodenstock distributor in the US is HP Photo, their web address is:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/welcome.html
Check with them on the age and
original price of this lens and the current prices of new lenses.
As I said before the N is the cheaper of the two Sironar models, the S
being the better one. You can get data sheets on this stuff from HP.
Also again, I think you may not be getting such a good deal.
