This is a bittersweet sale, as I've had this lens forever and have barely used it, but always thought I would someday. Many moons ago, I bought it lens to use with the NEX-7 I had bought on release. I played around with the lens on a cheapo adapter for a while, and then about two weeks after I got a nice Metabones adapter, someone gave me an RX-1 and I never used the NEX-7 again (until it found a new life as my film scanner). The lens then sat in my closet for approximately 8 years. I never got around to selling it, partly because I had a long-standing plan to buy a G1 and try it out on film.
Cut to this year, and I finally bought that G1, resulting in disappointment, as recounted in this thread. I still haven't sold it, and I'm not sure why. But now it's time!
This is in great shape, with hardly even a speck of dust in the lens beyond one noticeable one on the edge of one element (as depicted in an attached photo). I long ago sold my mMetabones adapter so can't take any digital samples, but I can confirm that it worked on that G1. Here are the only three film shots I can absolutely confirm that took with it (I spent most of my time trying out the 28mm). Be ready...they're unbearably exciting.

As you can see, super sharp! I just wish I'd gotten along with the G1.
Included are caps - the front is definitely original, but the back I don't know. And, perhaps the most important piece of the whole kit......the original leather pouch! Try to pick your jaw up off the floor.
Price: $320 including shipping. US buyers only, please!
