hey guys,

well, this little gem(albeit a bit dusty and road-worn) has decided she doesn't want to be part of MY kit anymore, but she's looking for a loving home who can use her all they want, she'll happily entertain!

The glass is in good condition, there's a bit of mild haze on the outside(shutter blade side) of the rear element in the front group. I'm not sure if this is just atmospheric buildup from time, or if it was cleaned improperly by the prior owner to myself(I've only used a rocket blower to blow loose dust away from the outside elements). IDK what to call them, but there's a few little "pinpricks?" in the outer parts of the front and rear elements. Almost invisible, but for you anally-retentive folks who need immaculate gear, just fore-warning you. But as someone told me(a wise man at that I think he is): "lenses aren't meant to be looked at, they're meant to be used". Hear hear :smile:. Now I'm just as good with gear-porn as the next guy in line, but I'm sure that these little "blemishes" won't affect your photographs, they certainly haven't affected mine so far with the 300+ sheets I've shot with this lens over the past 2 years or so.

Shutter runs spectacular, and to my ears, is pretty much dead on in the lower speeds. I'm no expert, but my chromes look good! Since I have the 150mm version of this series, it gets more use, hence my selling this beauty. As I stated above, she ain't mint, but she's a good user who will give you film so bloody sharp(as long as its in focus to begin with ;-P), it'll make your hands bleed by touching it! Ok ok, I know its a bit 'much', but this lens is tack sharp!

Oh... almost forgot to add:

x-sync(flash) works perfect!!!

my price for this 135mm razor of a lens?
$365 SHIPPED/Paypal'd in USA.
Int'l please PM me for a quote to your location. I normally use USPS Priority Mail, but if you want another service, I'm willing to use whatever, YOU'RE paying :smile:.

payment:
Paypal is preferred(as a "gift" is really nice), or I'm always open to keeping the kidney bank stocked and ready ;-). USPS Money Orders are always welcome, and cash in the mail is cool too.

if you have any questions, please let me know

thanks!

-Dan
