I was interested in this RODENSTOCK APO-RODAGON R 75MM F/4 1:1 lens
Click here to see on Ebay.de

The description says

Quote:
RODENSTOCK APO-RODAGON R 75MM F/4 1:1 LENS IS A MICRO LENS SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR COPYING SLIDES TO PRODUCE THE HIGHEST QUALITY DUPLICATE SLIDES.

THANKS FOR LOOKING.


I asked the usual question about the condition of the optics and got this response

HI, I JUST DOUBLE CHECK TO FIND OUT THAT THE FRONT ELEMENT HAS SOME FUNGUS INSIDE THAT NEED TO BE CLEANED.THANKS.

The description on the listing has not been updated to add this essential detail. The lens is still on sale (relisted) at USD 250.

There is at least a return policy, which is

Quote:
3 day money back, buyer pays return shipping


Maybe that's why it got relisted? International shipping is undisclosed.

Anyway, exercise caution.

I see that today the price has been reduced to USD 200 and the description slightly changed:

Yes, the change is to add the wording "sold as is", not to mention the fungus.

I reported the listing to ebay, not sure if that will do anything though.

Yes, that seems the new trick.

I have had the same situation with another professional *bay seller - also with the wording "sold as is" and you have three guesses what I got.

Right - a lens with full of fungus.
