Markus, thanks for your comment: I don't know about the price, I only paid
A$200 for a bunch of stuff which included this lens, an M200/4, an M135/3.5,
and a Spotmatic body - no help at all I'm afraid! But it might be worth
while to do an Ebay search to see if a similar item has been sold recently.
It is a very well made lens, and optically quite good - even at full
aperture (as in this shot) it produces reasonably usable results.

Hi John
I like that one and will be very happy if I get such good results on the
minutes ago started "crappy lens for bird photography competition".
I see a manual Tokina 400 5.6 tele in an auction here for around 120 Euro,
seems like a good price?
greetings
Markus

Given some discussion recently about a suitable lens for bird
photography,
here's a recent one taken with the Tokina 400/5.6 stove-pipe of mine!
Manual focus, of course, so maybe not the best option for birds
in flight...
