This is a fast f/1.8 55mm lens. Glass is unscratched & unmarked. Aperture action clicks positively and overall condition is very good.  No mould, fungus, or oil. It produces superb "SHARP" pictures (in the same league as the Takumar or Pancolar) sharper than any Pentacon just to give you an idea. Pictures are well saturated with rich colours, crisp focus, and beautiful bokeh. Solid lens construction, all Metal, no cheap plastics anywhere,  built to last. Excellent All-round  lens.

It can be fitted to almost any Digital SLR camera with a suitable M42 adapter. M42 Adapters are available cheaply on eBay for all digital SLRs including NIKON, SONY ALPHAS AND NEX, PENTAX, PANASONIC to name a just a few brands.. Try searching "M42 to canon" or "M42 to nikon" or "M42 to the camera brand that you own".

This lens does not have a Manual switch, and when used on digital cameras most adapters, but not all, will depress the auto pin from the rear of the lens so that the lens is effectively a manual lens. To ensure positive operation with all available adapters for digital cameras, and given that some Canon and Pentax adapters do not keep the rear pin depressed, auto mode has been disabled so the lens becomes effectively a manual lens, and the aperture changes positively regardless of any pin or adapters, giving peace of mind while using the lens and ensuring 100% compatibility with any digital adapters. The lens is therefore for Digital users, or for film camera users working in manual mode.

Fujinon lenses also come with a protruding tab on the rear which do not allow to focus to infinity when used on digital cameras. The way around this is file down that tab, and luckily this lens has enjoyed that job and is ready to use on dslr via an adapter..

 

As normal with used lenses, there might be some insignificant speckles of dust inside which do not affect in any way the use of the lens and the lovely pictures it takes. This lens comes serviced and has very little/hardly any dust.

 

Supplied complete with "BOTH" caps

If you are a "Canon" user and require the adaptor, I could supply you one for £5.
