Here's a bit of a Connoisseur's lens--- a rare lens for the true collector. It is NOT Mint---- so before you start wishfully thinking it is a diamond in the rough--- please read and agree to all of the description. It has a good amount of fine scratches and ticks on the front surface and probably some dust inside and a hint of fog (although I don't really see any), but it's still in pretty good shape and should shoot fairly well. It fits the TOPCON RE Super body I have listed and looking at a scene with it on the body--- it's very wide and the "view" is very good... but I have not shot with it.
As I said--- it has a good amounts of fine nicks and fine scratches on the front element, but the coatings are still crisp and the glass looks fairly clean. I'm sure if you shine a flashlight through it, it will look horrible, but that is an unreliable trick that yields inaccurate, overexagerated results. An un-collimated light source will make a brand new Leica lens look flawed--- just sayin. The exterior is otherwise in Excellent Cosmetic condition---- No Dents, No serious scratches, just very minor wear---- very clean overall. It seems to be working fairly well... it focuses smoothly and the apertures looks to be working fine.
It Comes with everything you see--- the Lens & Topcon UV filter shown, plus Series 9 Filter Holder, front & back Caps, and a soft leather pouch. Sold as a collectible with flaws---- Unknown if it's fully working perfectly so it's Bargain Priced! NOTE: Yeah.... I've painted a grim picture of it, so maybe you won't be disappointed.
Continental US Shipping will be $11.50. I will ship the next day after purchase. It will be packed well and safe. International Shipping via the ebay program.
PLEASE READ THIS--- By Buying you Agree with this--- I am not a store like Amazon. I'm just an old camera collector/shooter selling some Used items. If you read all of the description you'll see I took the time to check out the item and give you an honest description. But that said, and because eBay sux, I can't have things go back and forth based on opinion, or risk "part swapping" either. I've been a photographer for 40+ years and I know how cameras work and what to look for and can recognize when something is broken. But I can't "Bench Test" everything to factory specs, and understand every little bell and whistle. So I'm sorry, I can't sell this item on Approval--- it's being sold As Is, No Warranty, No Buyer's Remorse, No Try-outs, No Returns, sold As Is for collectible purposes, Not in perfectly functional condition--- possibly in need of rehab or to be used for Parts. I can't guarantee that every single aspect may be Perfect... especially when it's a 50+ year old item! (and I can't guarantee how long it will serve you, once you start using it regularly.) Any significant defects that I know of are either pictured or described to the best of my knowledge and I try to be detailed and truthful, but I can't describe every every millimeter of it. As expected with age, a used vintage camera could be found with a nick or blemishes here and there or a few additional specs of dust inside that I failed to mention, particularly inside the viewfinder... but they won't affect the photos and would hardly diminish it... unless you expect everything to be 100% Perfect. What you see is what you'll get and I package my items well, so it arrives in the same condition as shown.

If you have questions about this or other items or combined shipping or other discounts---- please ask... Let's make a deal. Thanks
