Yes, but since they use T mount, they can be used on any 35mm with
an adapter.  Back in the 60's and 70's when long teles were rare and
expensive, a lot of nature photographers used these.  AFAIK, they
are still selling these directly from Burbank factory.  The lens on
ebay above sells for around $900 new.  Not a bad deal when you
consider the price of more common lenses.
