It\'s a MMJ, it appears sharp in the corners at f/8 and f/11 (haven\'t been able to test it at the longer end were it isn\'t DoF constrained at f/8.) So the wobbly mount was fixable (although I learned a lot in the process of resolving that.) The serial number mismatch is odd. He said he got two in an estate sale and was keeping one. So I guess there is some shred of plausibility in that he sent the wrong one of the two. But still odd.
It\'s not mint, but the class appears spotless (not sure I even saw any dust...or at least much to note.) It has some abrasions, but isn\'t beat up. I got it for $330 shipped, and after applying some eBay bucks I effectively got it for around $240.

Interesting. I\'d put it through the paces with some f/8 scenic photos. It should be slightly sharper in the corners than your Distagon 28/2.8 (given the challenges of comparing different focal lengths).
As long as it performs as expected, and it\'s the same condition and \'type\' as advertised (i.e. AE vs. MM, G vs. J), I\'d keep it; otherwise, back it goes.
