Glass is very nice as most of these have cleaning marks but this one is very very NICE!
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!
