This is THE GRAIL lens and of the countless examples I have had over the last 20+ years, THIS IS THE FINEST example I have ever seen.
I have had boxed examples, MINT, but this one is by far, the prettiest example ever.
INSIDE and OUT!

A very special lens lens and getting harder and harder to find in such fine condition BUT, you will NEVER see another one like this.
Each 50mm 1.2 is different, in the slightest way, and I have to say I have seen more than a few, but this one is very Very VERY special!!!
