I am not sure what you mean by "fraction price" but this can be an extremely fine lens. It is fast for its focal length and sharp, even wide open. I have a couple of shots taken with my 180 on my web site. Similar to the 180 Oylmpic Sonnar, but probably sharper since it benefited from improvements in lens coatings and designs in the 1950s.
I used to use mine for night football games with Nikon F and motor drive. I found it nearly impossible to use handheld with a reflex housing.
It is a heavy lens, but beautifully made, unlike some of the post-war East German 180s. Does that help? WES

I would note that this particular lens was on ebay before, back in November, along with a non-rotating N-F adaptor. Not sure why it is being offered again by someone with zero feedback. WES
NIKON KIU
Did you say Nippon Kogaku
Ah...the FASTEST Nikkor Telephoto for the Nikon RF
Faster than the SLR version.
I say USD $500 to $700...well worth the starting bid. And for you....NO TAX.
