Good user lens with a few minor problems.
Glass clean except for a very slight dust inside, a very small light mark on the rear element, a tiny nick less than a pinprick and a very small scratch which is more like a polish mark, and some extremely faint polish marks on the front element. won't affect performance, if it does I'll buy you a beer.
The aperture stops down to 5.6 when you move the selector past f/4 while composing. The actual use of the aperture is unaffected, it just won't hold open all the way. I've had this looked at by my local repair man and he said it was somewhat common for the older lenses. Once again, I doubt you'll notice a darkening of the finder and the actual use of the lens is unaffected.
Focus smooth, shutter speeds good.
Barrel has a normal amount of wear from use.
- $160
