Is this seller telling a few fibs and trying to sell a broken lens or does such a beast exist?

This lens has very interesting blade arrangement and potentially produce unique bokeh. See pictures for detail.

Just missing the ==WORKS WELL== statement Rolling Eyes

The magic of marketing ... just a load of BS. The aperture is broken ...

That is funny Laughing

The question is, will anybody fall for it?

Incidentally, this lens looks identical to my Tele-Astranar 135/3.5, which is a T-mount. I wonder if he has his mount correct? Very Happy

Looks like oily blades and one of it is stucked. I guess he is right with the unique bokeh, but as stated earlier, missing 'works well'.

1 bidder so far, I wonder what the Paypal and Ebay commissions are on $0.99.

They do say that God loves a trier - "This lens is suitable for serious photographers who seek after excellent picture quality but don't want to spend a fortune.

Very rare lens on the market which produce very unique color. Color produced by this lens is quite different from the Pentax Takumar which is good to add in your collection to give a bit of variety..."

What a tool - he must think buyers are as stupid as he is.
Why, I would travel far and wide to find a lens with a broken diaphragm and also, one that's nothing like a Takumar. Smile

If he'd had his wits about him, he'd have included the word Prototype in his description - that would practically guarantee gazillions of monies Rolling Eyes

Ah, that's how it goes. And I was wondering about all the rare 50 Planars and Tessars and... Smile

Considering the condition, this lens is probably worth the value of the T-mount +99 cents.

Not to mention the lens caps, 3 bucks at least ! I'd say the lens worth it's pennies Very Happy
