Pentacon 500mm for Pentax 6x7 + anamorphic lens

Bump.
Anamorphic lens is sold.
I still have the 500mm f/5.6 in Pentax 6x7 mount.
It's used, but in perfect optical conditions. It comes with lens hood, tripod attachment, and original case. I think that the Pentacon is the multicoated version of the Meyer Orestegon 5.6/500mm.
I never used an original Pentax 6x7 longer than 200mm, but i was told that the performance of the Pentacon is on par with the original (and very expensive) 500mm made by Pentax.
Of the Pentacon Six lenses i originally purchased to be converted for Pentax 6x7 mount, another one is left: it's a Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 4/300mm, NEW OLD STOCK. Multicoated, with shade, case and original M42 adapter. It's of great optical quality, and with the right adapter it can be used with most small and medium format reflexes (analog or digital). For example there is an adapter for Pentax 645.
For the owners of Pentacon Six lenses, i have a new old stock Kiev 60, with Volna 80mm lens, pentaprism, waist level finder, filter, case.
Tested with one roll: perfect spacing and no flaws at all.

The work was done by a very good photo mechanic, with the 6x7 flange machined from a good quality aluminium block. The back of the lens was machined accordingly, to get infinity focus.
The lens comes with its original case. The case is in fair condition, while the lens is 9/10 eastetically and 10/10 functionally.
The surface of both front and back lenses is perfect, no damage whatsoever, even the coating is perfect.
It's a chance to get a very nice 500mm long focal (look at the nice reviews available online) in Pentax 6x7 mount, without spending a crazy amount of money.
As soon as i have a little time i'll post a few pictures.
I prefer to sell within EU, but i wil consider also shipping farther.
The problem lies with shipping charges. It's a big, heavy item, and a trackable and insured shipment to USA or Australia is likely to cost quite some more money.
Make your proposal, if you are willing to pay yourself Ebay/PayPal charges, i am willing to put the lens on sale that way.
For those willing to use the HD video features of recent Pentax bodies, i have a 16mm anamorphic projector lens.
It's a Fumeo 2x 16mm Anamorphic, the same thing as Elmoscope, as Kowa 16-H, and the like. All were made by Kowa, and slightly differ only in the shape of the barrel and on the rear thread.
Mine is "old stock", never used, absolutely like new. Even the lens case is mint!
For those not informed, it is usable like a screw-in adapter for a taking lens. You get double the field of view of the lens (2x), like with cinemascope movies. A 50mm, for example, gets the field of view of a 25mm.
The movie can be projected using the same lens as projection lens (good for both 16mm and 8mm film), or can be digitally resized with a computer, doubling the image width. You will get the same thing as a cinemascope movie, with the same peculiar movie appearance, and with that beautiful oval bokeh.
There is currently a lot of request for these lenses, that fetch high prices on the bay. These Kowa lenses aren't produced anymore, and the only viable alternative are very, very expensive.
Of course nothing prevents the use of this lens on digital HD movies cameras: You would need only a step up/step down ring, as with DSRL movie-enabled still cameras.

have fun
