DISLOSURE UPDATE 1/26

When viewed with a bright light at a specific light angle, there is a small bright line (about 3mm long) visible at the extreme outer edge of the second front element.
I'm not certain what exactly it is, but it seems like an imperfection in the reflective boundary in the cemented front group that is visible under closer external inspection, so please be aware before purchasing. It's shown on one of the photos, the spot is marked with red circle.
It has no impact on image quality, but if you are extremely sensitive to imperfections, this may not be the right copy for you.

Another update regarding the tiny smudge/line behind the front lens element. Just found a 10 year old photo of mine of the lens and it has the exact same smudge. My guess is this is something that escaped manufacturing and I simply never noticed it over 10 years. It's not a crack nor fungus. It's likely some debris or smudge from assembly. See this 10 year old photo. It has zero impact of final image.
