Condition (Appearance/Functionality): Very rare condition for such (old) lens. The lens has been dismantled, serviced and relubed recently by a paid technician; infinity focus has been readjusted into the correct condition.Mineral glass related black micro bubbles are present there (from the very production) - actually an old sign of superb glass quality. Focusing is on the harder side, typical of such old lenses.

All these lenses have a beautiful rendering quite different from modern af lenses which are clinical in their looks. Images sooc camera will need minimal processing to get the desired looks (softer skintones, pleasing bokeh and sometimes cinematic look)

Version 2 – Commonly called the Thin or Slim Version (1946 – 1952) Serial number range 3,100,000 – 3,777,000
This version retains the chromed steel body and eighteen aperture blades of Version One, but with the added "T" coating. These are reputed to be the best lenses in terms of optical quality. The lens ring changed from 7.5cm to 75mm in 1950. All have the "T" coating.
