500mm RF lens?

[dogberryjr]

I thought 135mm was supposed to be the outside limit of RF focusing accuracy, now I see this: http://www.keh.com/camera/Nikon-Rangefinder-Fixed-Focal-Length-Lenses/1/sku-NR069991027840?r=FE

Anyone used/seen one?

Its f5. They made it slow enough to cover up any focusing errors like with the 90mm f4 🙂

Well, it is no rangefinder lens, but a accessory mirror box lens. Long lenses for these are not that uncommon - the 180mm "Olympia" Sonnar was already introduced in the mid thirties.

At $6,000 it's gotta be a collectible.

There may be a price war here. Igor Camera has it on eBait for a better price.

True. However, the 1st version of the 180/2.8 Olympia Sonnar was RF-coupled (external Contax mount).
