The lenses have no fungus and hase. The front lens has a very small bubble, typical of this old glass. The rear lens is great. I'm sure no influence on the resulting photograph. The lens is very good.
Setting the focus in the rails and setting the aperture on the lens is smooth.
Bellows it to look nice. But for test lamp light are visible leakage of light. Nothing horrible. For work it is necessary to repair. For the collection is good as it is. I therefore denoted as the bellows defect.
