The condition remains unchanged from when it was last sold. The aluminum barrel shows some signs of use such as light scuffing, but for an Angulon it presents a very clean overall appearance.

The aperture and helicoid operate smoothly. The lens glass shows very faint cleaning marks on the front element, and slight coating wear on the middle element that is only visible when examined under a strong LED light. There is no haze or fungus present. For an Angulon, the glass is in remarkably clean condition.

Actual shooting tests were excellent. The lens delivers outstanding sharpness in the center, along with pleasing color rendition. These sample images were taken at the time of the previous sale, but we would be delighted if you take a look at them in our sample gallery.

An aluminum rear cap is included.
