I am selling my optically excellent Askar FMA 135mm f 4.5 Triplet APO Astrograph lens with flattener. This lens produces wonderful wide field images. I have used it attached to my Nikon D5300 DSLR. The kit comes with a Skyview Pro Dovetail adaptor ( to 1/4" DSLR base screw mount). This adaptor allows the Camera and ASKAR lens combo to be attached to any astro mount supporting standard dovetail clamping.
I am including a link here to an Astrobin Gallery image (taken through this setup), so you can see in high resolution the quality images that this lens can produce.

This Askar Triplet APO lens kit sells for $599 AUD for Testar in Australia, which is where I purchased it. I am offering the lens kit, with the DSLR dovetail mount bar, for $380 AUD. I will cover shipping to any address in Australia, in the original packaging.
If your interested, please PM me here at IIS. Thanks for looking.
