Rafael,
May I ask why the non-apo version?

Tarmarkin.com has two of them listed for sale at present, one from about 1979 and the other from about 1994 based on serial numbers.

I've done a lot of business with Dan Tamarkin and he always delivers excellent quality used gear at reasonable prices, and is a pleasure to work with.

Thank you. Yes, I know Mr Tamarkin and agree he is great to do business with. I will have a look.
As to the earlier question why the non APO. Price,weight, my own shooting style is not a wide open style.
Like a car the last couple of horsepower costs a lot more than the first couple. I may not need the APO although if I saw one at a good price I would grab it, in a heart beat. Shoot both, and keep one.
Thanks guys!
