A very rare lens. Many people pay x2-3 for the 9 element version but this is actually harder to find.
The 8 element with the 1st version body style, on a camera or deep rear cap you actually don't know if it is the 1st of 2nd version. Only from the rear element.
There were fewer made and these are perfect for digital and meter us as they don't have an issue with the deep rear element.
I recently sold one of these and was not complete and in this fine condition.
Hard pressed to find another one as they don't come up often.
Wonderful condition and complete with all its extras
A pleasure to have and enjoy!
