Yes, thanks for that George ;-). My consolation is that the lens is
otherwise perfect and it cost me £150GBP (about $215). It is a fat
beast though.

Hey Chris,
If you buy his story that the paint came off while that "never on a
body" lens was packed away in the box, I've got a bridge in
Brooklyn I'd like to sell you....it never was used.... <g>

I managed to bag a pretty mint 50/1.2 today (with box, instructions
and guarantee from about 1994). It was meant to be like new, but it
has a little of the paint worn off part of the aperture ring. I
spoke to the vendor who swears that it has not been on a camera
(looks like it with no scratches on the mounting plate) or been in a
camera bag. Has anyone heard of the paint job being a little fragile
on these lenses?
