O yes. Most of us still kicking in 2024. Still interested in that specific one... Wink

What mount is yours?

I bought one of these recently in PK / AR mount but it has internal haze so I'll need to attempt to clean it. As far as I can see the haze is only on one element in from the rear, so might be an easy fix.
Still looking for one in Nikon F mount.

If anybody has the Kobori (without haze), it would be interesting to see some well lighted daylight pictures in high resolution.

I think this lens may be one that is prone to having haze in most examples. I bought one several years ago, my copy was unfortunately not cleanable. I looked for another at a later date, there are not many around, and the only one I found then also had haze. Fortunately the seller was honest in that regard. So, if looking to buy one, this is something you should establish before handing the money over.
