I don't have much use for this lens and it has just been sitting around so I thought I'd see what I can get for it. It's a beautiful lens with all metal housing. The wide aperture is very useful and this lens is sharper than any other manual lens I've ever used (of course I haven't had a chance to get my hands on any Zeiss glass so I guess that statement is relative). It is in excellent condition with no scratches or fungus and a very rugged build that in my opinion would be hard to damage. Includes back lens cap and Macro Adapter with front and back lens caps. I'm asking $125 shipped to lower 48 and paypalled or best offer.

    I used to have this lens on OM mount. The lens is very sharp, comparable to my Voigtlander 125 macro. I sold it back then since I had the Voigtlander. But now I switch to Sony and I just miss these two fine macros. Why does it have to be MD and not Alpha mount? Oh well, old lenses are not an option for Alpha without mod.

    MD/MA adapter would cure that problem, who shoots with AF when doing Macros anyhow? lol

    He might as well, he doesn't return messages. People like him make legit sellers look bad !
