Classic screw mount lens

among many others.
***Only one other owner prior to myself. Part of the extensive
collection of well-known New Mexico writer and photographer
Ken Cobean who has had his work published in such magazines
as Time and Life in the 1950s and 1969s.
Please check out my detailed pictures.
The lens works perfectly, the glass has some
very minor dust specs inside otherwise it's
in fantastic condition given its age. No visible
fungus or mold. No noticeable cleaning marks
or scratches. It's simply stunning!
The lens barrel has developed a beautiful patina. It
may be worn but it's super clean. I take excellent
care of all my lenses and the original owner
did too. It was originally mounted on a Miranda
with an M44 mount. I changed it to M42.
The aperture blades work and as can be expected
there's some evidence of wear and some light oil
on the blades. Since this is a pre-set lens they
have no effect on the performance of the lens
and on the final images (see my test shots).
It mounts perfectly, focuses smoothly, and
is a joy to use. Please check out the test images
that I took using my M42-FX digital adapter
on my Fujifilm X-A10 mirrorless camera. Excellent
contrast, clarity, sharpness, and color.
***The aperture range is an impressive f/2.8 to f/22.
This is a highly desirable classic lens that produces
outstanding results on both film and digital cameras.
