This is a very nice example of a Kern Paillard 15mm f/1.5 AR Switar
motion picture lens. This lens has a very nice barrel with no missing
paint and no brassing, dings or dents. The markings are a bit worn, but still very readable. This LATER model 25mm Switar features the patented Visi-Focus system that the f/1.4 lens did not have.
The
glass is clean and free of scratches, haze and fungus. There is a very
small amount of dust that is going to be found in ALL lenses from this
era and this lens appears to have some very very fine cleaning marks, but the image quality will be unaffected.
This lens
is the AR version. This means it works better on non-reflex movie
cameras.
The lens will ship
with both front and rear lens caps as shown. This is a nice piece that
is being sold by a photographer with more than 30 years experience, and
who wants to maintain his 100% eBay feedback rating. I describe my
items carefully and take care of my buyers.
