This lens is generally in fantastic shape, with few signs of use, perfect glass, etc.
However, the focusing is not so smooth, and the aperture ring has a very light touch. My theory is that the lubrication has partly evaporated over time. A repairman once thought that it just needed disassembly, lubing and reassembly, something which even a layman could undertake with an older, simpler design like this, but I never got around to doing it. It was estimated to cost 85 Euro, IIRC.
It comes with a Canon adapter. Photos from it are pretty decent right into the corner, wide open, and get sharp when stopped down a bit. It deserves its reputation as being an affordable, good wide angle lens. Comes with a nice little leather satchel.
Normally it would sell for around 300 Euro, but given the focusing ring condition, I will sell for 150 Euro. Shipping extra. Please check shipping costs to your country before buying. I will take PayPal or bank transfer.
