Michael P. Dodson frets:

Should I be concerned about its optical quality?

Yes, absolutely.  It has optical quality.  I would be concerned.

I just bought an 85mm f2.0 from KEH for real money.

Surprising.  They accepted Monopoly money from me.

It was described as excellent plus and I agree.

So far, so good.

It shows only the faintest wear on the aperture ring.

Uh-ohh...

The glass is wonderful.

Good sign.

It is however a silver nose.

Uhh-oohhh...

Are the silver nose 85/2s as good as the later versions?

Michael

To spare you from what is obviously a serious case of buyer's remorse, I'll swap a genuine, NIB, Olympus lens hood for your troubling lens. All black, no silver.

Michael!  Quit worrying so much!
