Kelton:

Nothing replaces an excellent textual description of the lens along with 
excellent photographs of the lens.  Seriously.  I don't pay attention to 
gradings -- seems to me there are too many people out there who believe they 
can call something a "10-" even if it has "cleaning marks" (lovely euphemism, 
that) that look like they were inscribed into the lens front with steel wool.
