with CANON EF mount*

*-all lenses are fitted with hard EF mounts (a'la SimMod mounts, with NO glass inside) and they focus to infinity; i set lenses infinity a bit before infinity signh on lenses scale (more less -0.20mm), as i do not have right equipment, to set them to perfect 0.0mm, so proper calibration / shimming process is Buyer responsibility; lenses can be used, as they are now, without any problems of course, as they still focus correctly / to infinity

Set comes with: 7x front snap-on caps (third party); 7x rear cap (third party); 6x 80mm OD aluminium front rings; 7x Canon EF hard mounts (not adapters!) on all lenses

ITEM(s) CONDITION:

OPTICALLY: PERFECT- / PERFECT
there are NO deep scratches, deep cleaning marks, cracks or any other serious damages on lenses glasses; there are NO fungus, mold, fog, haze, separations or any other serious damages inside lenses optical construction; all lenses from this set can have few really MICRO cleaning marks here and there, but never visible by naked eye, usually faint ones, which are normal in vintage lenses, as old lenses never be new lenses and they always have some signs of use; lenses can have few MICRO marks/spots on glasses coatings, but it is quite normal and even new lenses sometimes have them; lenses have some MICRO pieces of dust inside optical construction for sure, but nothing to worry about, as it stays even after cleaning in good service; optical issues with very detailed LED lamp test: 1) 24mm lens has few micro dots / spots, looks like micro dust, all under front glass, i really do not know, what it is, but they are visible just when you look close on the glass, under strong LED light; 2) 50mm lens has some transparent dots on the edge of one of inside glasses, very hard to notice, but they are there for sure; 3) 85mm lens has one dot under rear glass (visible just under strong LED light, not by naked eye) and three small dots inside optical construction, somewhere on the edge, very hard to notice, but they are there for sure; 4) 100mm and 135mm lenses have more dust inside, like 100mm has micro hair on the edge of one inner glass and both lenses has few a bit bigger dusts, than other lenses, that is of course still nothing to worry about; please, note, that LED test is critical test and even new lenses has some issues to pass it, as they also can have foggy / oily spots inside optical construction or some micro dust inside; i just want to be 100% honest with Buyer, so i did around 20 min LED test with all lenses from the set, so i spend around 2-3 minutes per lens, to check and describe them good; all those 'issues' are NOT visible on movie material, as it was checked many times, during filming; all lenses were cleaned recently, so i believe all those 'issues' are permanent, but i'm not an expert here

MECHANICALLY: PERFECT- / PERFECT
focus rings in all lenses from this set works very smooth, with no issues, as this set was serviced in AUGUST 2023 (fully CLA'd); i've checked all lenses with manual and electronic follow focus units and they all work really good; aperture rings in all lenses works fine, with no issues; all lenses have de-clicked aperture (there's no 'click' sound during changing it, so now it works like in professional cine lenses) and hard Canon EF mounts (hard means, that they are screwed to lenses for good, they are not some cheap adapters, that can be removed; just hard mounts costed me around 900 GBP to buy them to all lenses; hard EF mounts allow of course to focus to infinity with all lenses from this set; aperture in all lenses stops to the end without any problems; there's no oil on aperture blades in any of lenses from this set; minimal mechanical issues: 1) 50mm and 135mm lenses focus rings works a bit harder, than other lenses focus rings; 2) 85mm lens focus ring works very smooth, but a bit unregular in some places; 2) 135mm lens has minimal backlash (play) on it's rear mount / focus ring; 4) just remember, that ALL lenses from this set can have standard 'breathing' when focusing, so they have minimal backlash / play during it; this is normal in this type of lenses and i do not even think, it is an issue here, as those lenses works like that and there's nothing you can do about it; they are just not very expensive cinematic lenses, but standard photo lenses, so to have perfect working condition, you need to spend thousands per lens for re-housing, as standard housings are like they are and you need to used to it; i just mention about it, as i want to be 100% honest with buyer; i've also did around half an hour ff unit test + hand test to all lenses, so i've noticed even MICRO backlash; note, that this is old, vintage set, so it still works great

VISUALLY: PERFECT- / PERFECT
all lenses from this set have MINIMAL to LIGHT signs of use on their casings, as can be seen on REAL pictures under item description; lenses casings can have some minimal scratches, minimal paint missing and some dirt in some places; in general, this set is still in really excellent visual condition for it's age for sure; there are NO serious damages on lenses casings, maybe few small ones, like deeper scratch or really micro dents / cracks, what is normal in old lenses
