What do they say about things that seem too good to be true? I bid on a lens that wasn't getting any action and I actually got it. There were a couple of other low bids, but my low bid was slightly higher than theirs (may have been a couple of you cheap guys  ). From what I could see, this is a P-6 mount, which is fine since I already have an adapter mount. I got this for just $96. What have I missed?

Thanks for the reassurance. It wouldn't have been the first time I bought a lens that wasn't what I thought. I tend to like the older versions of lenses, so this will be fine, especially given its apparent condition.

I just realized: My version of this lens has 6 aperture blades and is from the sixties. Yours has 7 aperture blades and is from the seventies!

Very good price.
I sold mine with $250?!? 2 years ago.
Blades tend to stuck. All Zebras have that problem.
Don't despair, easy to open it up and clean them.

The marketing around 1970 must have been:
"Buy this lens NOW and get one additional aperture blade for FREE!!!"
