Inspector’s condition notes

Lens in good condition — a lens especially well-suited for portrait photography, particularly when used on various mirrorless cameras. There is a small amount of oil on aperture blades, but it does not affect performance. The Optical is pristine and free of scratch, though there is a fair amount of dust. Focus and aperture turn as smoothly as on a new lens, with internal components firmly in place and no internal movement sounds. The exterior body shows visible signs of use, with easily noticeable scratch and paint loss throughout the lens body.

How this lens renders

Compared to other lenses sharing the same 58mm specs, this one is the "King of Bokeh" from 1966. Its standout quality is the soft, gentle character when shot wide open. At f/1.4, sharpness is still soft and dreamy, contrast is low, and the image has a film-like gentle tonality — ideal for dreamy portrait work. Stopping down to f/2, sharpness jumps up noticeably and ramps up to tack-sharp through the f/8 range. The bokeh melts the background beautifully, living up to its name, with a dimensionality you simply won't find in modern lenses. Vignetting sits around 1.5EV wide open, making it a useful tool for shaping the mood of an image (drops to nearly half at f/2 and is essentially gone from f/2.8 onward). This lens is for someone seeking character, not someone after clinical sharpness. A vintage lens well worth collecting.
