The lens appears aesthetically near mint to the naked eye. It has spent most of its life in its box. But the first buyer I sold it to had issues with the lens and returned it. There appears to be some kind of haze on the interior of the glass. I've attached the two photos the buyer sent showing the issue, all his shots had this haze look to it and there was some kind of flaw when looking through the rear of the glass, don't know if its dirt or hair or what. I'm sure someone out there has the knowledge and experience to fix it up, but I don't. Selling it at a huge discount. This is an as is sale and no returns are accepted.
