Something for the collector with a larger wallet than mine.

I would suggest cut off filters for infra-red and ultra-viol;et photography repectively. That is, both would remove all visible light leaving one or the other extreme to pass.

Yup, that is exactly what they are for. There is a chappy on the manual focus forum who specialises in these things who has this lens. While it is rare and unusual, "photo arsenal" have a bit of a rep for way OTT prices. I think I'd rather have that A* 400/f2.8...

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

The 85mm f/4.5 lens also had a bigger brother the 300mm f/5.6. Both were very special and very expensive. They had fluorite and quartz elements to correct against chromatic aberration produced by IR and UV light.

Still no takers ?

Twice as many as now if I can find a reasonably priced body upgrade
