Anybody else notice that the DOF preview button is not sticking
out like it's supposed to? I'm also wondering about the
glass--why the lenscap?
I'd say that at first glance this is a "bargain" condition lens.
Scary.
AG-Schnozz.
Some one mentioned they were looking for one of these.
Pictures won't load
for me, but not an awfully bad BIN if the description is
accurate. No
connection to seller etc etc.

--------------------
I'd watched this one go around once before and was intrigued. The
excellent feedback rating led me to believe it wasn't a scam. I wrote
asking about glass condition and operation. She replied that it
functioned perfectly with perfect glass and she would give a 48 hour
return priviledge. So I bought it. As I suspected, it didn't work quite
perfectly; the aperture didn't quite open all the way. When I removed
the mount, I found a spring had become disconnected and the DOF button
was binding slightly because it's hole was slightly bent. Those problems
were easy to fix and the rest of the lens is easily mint- with perfect
glass.
One little problem remains, the DOF button doesn't close the aperture
all the way. It's like the curved, sort of scimitar shaped lever pushed
by the Dof button is too short so it doesn't hit the pin that reaches
down to operate the aperture until it's half way or more through its
travel. So it only stops down to about f5.6. Nothing is obviously
damaged or missing. I'm sure I can come up with a solution, but wonder
if anybody has a dissambly diagram of this lens or knows where one is
available so I can see 'how it should be'.
For the price with nice condition case and hood and it's overall
condition, I'm keeping the lens, but would like to make it 'perfect' by
fixing the DOF button.
Thanks in advance for any info
