AIS VERSION OF THE 135mm

SEND REASONABLE OFFERS. THIS IS PRICED LOWER THAN WHAT I PAID FOR AND THE SELLER DID NOT EVEN MENTION THE SCRATCHES ON THE REAR ELEMENT.

I PAID 275 TOTAL FOR THIS ON EBAY LASY YEAR.

SOLD AS IS SINCE IM SELLING SOME LENSES I DONT USE AND I RATHER USE A 105MM LENS. ITS SOLD AS IS WITH NO RETURNS SO READ THE ENTIRE AD SO YOU KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THE FLAWS/ CONDITION OF THE LENS

THE FIRST 9 IMAGES ARE ALL SHOT WIDE OPEN AT f2

 

I BOUGHT THIS ON EBAY LAST YEAR

THIS LENS HAS SIGNS OF USE. THE EXTERIOR HAS SIGNS OF USE AS THIS APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN A LENS USED AT UNIVERSITY OF CAROLINA SINCE ITS ETCHED ON THE EXTERIOR BODY. THE BODY HAS SCRATCHES

THE LENS FOCUS IS SMOOTH AND THE APERTURES ALL CLICK

THE FRONT ELEMENT HAS WHAT APPEAR TO BE CLEANING MARKS OR BLEMISHES FROM THE COATING. THESE ARE CIRCULAR MARKS. SEE THE PHOTO.

THE REAR ELEMENT HAS SCRATCHES. THERE ARE 2 SCRATCHED THAT STAND OUT NEAR THE CENTER AND SOME LIGHT ONES NEAR THE EDGE.

UNDER THE LIGHT TEST YOU CAN SEE MORE OF THE SCRATCHES, HOWEVER BE ADVISED THAT UNDER THE LIGHT TEST YOU WILL SEE A LOT OF DEBRIS AND MINOR SCRATCHES THAT HAVE NO IMPACT ON THE IMAGES PRODUCED. KEN ROCKWELL HAS A GOOD ARTICLE ON THIS TOPIC.

BASED ON THESE FLAWS THIS LENS IS SELLING AT A REDUCED PRICE SINCE THESE ARE LISTED AT AROUND 400 DOLLARS ON HERE.

I DONT KNOW WHAT KIND OF IMPACT THESE SCRATCHES HAVE ON THE IMAGES PRODUCED. I PROVIDED SAMPLE IMAGES AND I MYSELF HAVE NO NOTICED ANY FLAWS IN THE IMAGES.

IF YOU WANT ME TO TAKE A CERTAIN PHOTO PLEASE LET ME KNOW SO YOU CAN SEE AN EXAMPLE OF THE IMAGE.
