As a coincidence, I would also like a lens of this type, but the one that is phase-capable. The one I had in mind would be marked 'PH4' and be matched to a Nikon phase condenser with the appropriate phase rings, which I am also searching for. These were originally designed for the Labophot and Optiphot, but I can make them work on my Diaphot. And yes, vendor and private replies are welcome.
