Link to the lens:
http://www.cafr.ebay.ca/itm/280767159719?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2648

I read about this lens that there is no <<35>> graved on the barrel for the lens made in Canada.

<<Black aluminum anodized, Canada, no "35" on barrel, new formula from #2166702
Black, Canada, no "35" on barrel, no infinity lock
Black, engraved "35" on barrel>>.

http://www.cameraquest.com/mlenses.htm

In this case, we have <<35>> on the barrel of a lens made in Canada.

I don't know what to think.

Any advise appreciated

My black made in Canada 35mm Summicron certainly has a "35" engraved on the barrel....

I'd worry much more about the scratches on the front *and* back elements of the lens!!!! :sad:
