This has coating damage / a small mark on the rear element, dust inside, a few small scratches on the front element. The filter threads also are bent.
The price reflects its condition. Offers are welcome.
The mount is 50mm, I believe (the same as a Rodagon 150 — whatever that is). Those threads are fine.
The aperture works great and no oil on blades.
My Rodagon 150 is in similar condition to this. I had been holding onto this in case i needed the extra length to ensure even light and/or to make smaller prints.
I'm selling this because I made an adjustable enlarging table so the smaller print size (smallest I do is ~8x10) is not a problem, and I'm getting consistently evenly-lit prints with my 150mm.
I'm sure you would get clinically sharper prints with this lens minus its problems, but the results were good enough for me. A great photo will be great and a mediocre one mediocre, regardless of clinical sharpness.
I suppose you could use this as a taking lens too, if that's your thing.
