The lens is in a great condition for its age, no fungus. The glass is scratch free. The rubber on the focusing ring is a little bit loose due to its age, but I put a rubber band underneath so you can’t tell - there is no slipping.

The lens comes with both caps and the rubber hood visible in the photos.

The lens mount is converted to Canon EF and there is a chip attached with 58mm f1.4 exif. They did not offer f1.2 back then on Ebay so that’s what I ended up with.

As I remember the mirror interferes with the back of the lens on full frame EF bodies close to infinity but works fine on APS-C and focuses to infinity, which is probably what you will never do with it anyway. On mirrorless of course there are no such limitations.

Fun fact - the coatings are slightly radioactive so you can finally get some reading on that geiger counter of yours that always just shows the background radiation!

The price is out the door PP fees and shipping. For F&F subtract the fees.

I am a big fan of this lens. If you are interested, then you might want to check out my recent thread using the lens:

It should work with focus aids on a Canon RF camera with a Canon EF to RF adapter, but the seller may want to check that out and confirm the chip on the lens actually works with the Canon adapter. If the chip doesn't work, then it can still be used with a Canon EF to Leica M adapter, and the Shoten Leica M to Canon RF adapter with electronic contacts. That is how I use my copy of the lens.

The chip does work on the EF-RF adapter, but the focusing aids are not accurate enough. To get the focus spot on, focus magnification is the only way I found.

I think that will depend on the camera perhaps. I find with the Canon R5 II, the focus aids are very accurate and I can't really do better with magnification for about 99% of the shots. The only time it fails is when there are multiple targets in the focus box and the camera selects the wrong target. You even get eye AF, (where the camera puts a small green box on the eye when it is in focus) if you have people AF selected and eye AF enabled.

I found the focus aids worthless for Canon EF DSLRs, but on the Canon R5 II I find them to be excellent.

I only tried it on R6. Maybe the newer R bodies work better.
