Condition Report

This lens is in excellent professional condition. The optics are brilliant and clear, with no fungus, haze, or glass separation. Internal dust is minimal and typical for a well-maintained vintage lens. The black anodized barrel shows only the slightest cosmetic wear on the edges of the focus ring, consistent with careful use. Mechanically, the lens is flawless; the focusing is smooth and well-damped, and the aperture ring is crisp. The integrated lens hood slides smoothly and holds its position as intended.
