This lens was pretty much always attached to a body since sometime in the mid-70's when my Dad bought it new. Great little lens. I'm unable to adapt it to my setup so I'm parting with my unused equipment.

The optics are still clean/clear but the lens appears to have been dropped so the all-metal filter ring is crushed in a bit, so no filters can be used. This could probably? be repaired. Otherwise it's just cosmetically flawed.

This is a "coveted" lens, I really wish I could get it to work, but I don't really want to bother investing in a Canon or Pentax body in order to utilize it. The glass is beginning to yellow due to the Thorium in it, but it was only apparent when I took pictures of it, and when I tried shooting with it, I didn't notice it in captures. This is the Multi-Coated "Super" version.

These are selling well over $100 in excellent condition, and around $75 or so in good condition. I'll do $65 shipped.
