This lens will need a cleaning. There is haze/fog behind the front and middle elements
These lenses are prone to cleaning marks and scratches due to their soft coatings.
This lens has no cleaning marks or scratches. Very nice considering.
A RARE lens as I have never seen a TWO TONE Nickel and chrome finish lens.
Came with a very nice UPGRADED IIIC to a IIIF camera that is in my other listing.
A wonderful lens but even more nice with this rare feature.
A pleasure to have and enjoy!
