[Condition]
・Appearance
There are some small scratches and scuffs, and it shows signs of use.

・Lens
There is no mold or fogging. When strong light is applied, some minor wiping marks can be seen, but they do not affect the photos, and the lens is clear.
The late version uses thorium glass, which yellows over time, but we have removed the yellowing to the extent that it is not noticeable during shooting by irradiating it with ultraviolet light (see image 9).
There is some dust and debris inside the lens due to normal use.
*The evaluation is subjective. Please understand that this is a used item.
