TRIVIA: famous German 'swirly bokeh' manual focus prime lens originally produced for 35mm SLR film cameras with M42 screw mount (Praktica, Contax, Pentacon, Praktiflex).

ITEM CONDITION:  an item used previously (prod. date ca 1960). Item professionally overhauled (cleansed, relubed, adjusted) by a paid technician. So the item is absolutely clean and runs buttery smooth now, 10 blades perfect without abrasion, runs buttery smooth. Precise pinpoint focusing is a real joy with the lens now after a complete relube. No further investments needed - unless you plan to 'cinemod' the item. 

Glass condition wise this is a very good potential cinevise or rehousing candidate. Glasses in overall great condition (see Fig. 2/3), essentially the only thing you'll spot during a torch light would be production made mineral glass air bubbles which are no harm to the performance (see Fig. 5).

ACCESSORIES: metallic front lens cap with custom made print, original rear lens cap, vintage lens hood w/ carton box (bottom of the box is dilapidated), vintage protective filter (plastic boxed).

ADAPTATION: look for M42 to Sony E, GFX, FX, M4/3, EOS R... digital adapters here on eBay.
