Nikons third and newest 500mm Mirror Lens. The older lenses doesn't have the orange line. Many people on the internet claims that this is the one of if not the best 500/8 mirror lens. Technically it has one of the shortest minimum focus distances found in 500mm, which is 1,5 meters or just around 5 feet.
If you want this lens at eBay, you must be ready to pay around 400 Euros for this third version. The second version goes for about half the price. The first version could have a much higher price because it goes back to 1961 (vintage).
