Hi Axel,
Yes, that's a Noflexar-T 5.6/400 with a Pigrip-C
As the set includes the shoulder rest (rifle stock), drop-in filters,
cable release, a Canon FD adapter and the teleconverter and all of it in
a custom a carrying case (all of which, being Novoflex, are not at all
cheap) the price being asked is actually quite realistic.
Novoflex still sell adapters for attaching this lens to almost every
make of camera you can think of - from micro-four-thirds to medium
format cameras
Once again, Novoflex prices:

I must add, Novoflex prices are justifiable - you always get the very
best of precision engineering truly Made in Germany
The same lens is also available second-hand here
http://www.team-foto.de/main-eng.html for 290 euros without the
accessories:
Go to Online shop
Enter search term Novoflex
Activate Advanced search and Search Subgroups
Hit return
I've bought quite a lot of stuff from Teamfoto, quality, price and
service have always been excellent.
Cheers
Douglas
