This lens has given me some great photographic fun.
The lens is the later model 55BB, from my sparse experience very very similar to 55B.
Info on the lens here and here.
You can also read more comments from me here and here.
If properly focused it can give surprising results.
 
 
On review, I thought this was from my 55-300mm, till I found the bokeh very odd.
Even the odd donut bokeh can be pleasing IMO.
Here are some pictures of the lens:
 
 
Mechanically its fine, focus smooth, adapter fits fine.
Cosmetically it shows some signs of use, with some scraping of the paint.
It comes with the hood and a generic front lens cap.
I have OM, FD, MD, M42 and K adapters available.
I'll ship worldwide. Price is £70 plus shipping.

Yeah, I knew that at this price some fish would bite.
I was right! Sold to soikka.
I have extanded my say in Edinburgh to complete my thesis, but still I have to "clean the house" for the moving.
There are more lenses to go, including a Tokina 500mm which may or may be sold. Depends on my choices in the 300 - 500mm range 
GOD, I'm speaking as if this is a very hard and technical process 
Foolish lba...
