Lens Separation Explained:
Lens separation is when a tiny element of air has got between the lenses, which are glued together in the original manufacturing process. This can often happens with vintage lenses and is noticeable by a rainbow effect. Providing it is light, it is generally considered to be only cosmetic, and will only have a very light influence, resulting in a slight loss of contrast on your pictures. Importantly, a lens with fungus, is likely to be detrimental, opposed to a lens with light separation issue.
With this lens, the separation is very light, which is really only detectable with a magnifying glass & tilting the lens towards the light.
Comes with:
* Single Internal Film Spool
