Seller seems to be pretty pissed of. But is this a valid behavior on
ebay.com?
"I have the right to cancel this auction at any time if the lens
sells through other media outlets, regardless of bids here."
Looks like it was "sold" once before, but the buyer couldn't come up
with the money.
Doesn't even have a lens mount according to the seller, who appears to
be a broker for the "owners"
It is my understanding that a customized SLR/DSLR/EF mount can be
created/included by the team of optical engineers who presently look
after the lens.
In that case, there's no reason it couldn't be converted to K-mount. You
wouldn't have to switch.
This is a backup optic for some "scientific" package that went into
space. Bet it was one of those CIA spy satellites they could use to read
the numbers off a license plate from orbit.
Just had a wild idea. Maybe PDML could buy it as a group. Have a contest
every year at GFM with the winner getting to take it home & use it until
the next year.
