The 640 was too long, not balanced well and too slow for me to use hand-held. Since I don't use tripods (it's against my religion - don't ask what that means) it wasn't much use to me. The 400 Novoflex was much more useful to me. I'll bet it would be fine on a hefty tripod. Price?? No clue. I sold my Novoflex 280/400/640 set in 1979 for $350.
