For a friend I need to sell his Mamiya-Sekor Macro C 1:4/80mm lens. It includes the instruction book which clearly shows that the front group is cemented. I have checked it out and saw that it has edge separation on all sides.
An idea about how bad it is (it looks worse though because of the purple fringing):
You can see the separation at about 4 o'clock.
Now, what would the value be of this lens? It's in a near mint condition and even includes the lens case and all caps (and of course the instruction book). And, before I forget: it also comes with the "Auto Macro Spacer"(extension tube). If I'm not mistaken edge separation is not bad per se - it's still a sharp lens. It's unlikely to be visible in the prints/on screen. But it has effect on the value, but my quiestion would be how much... _________________ Peter - Moderator
