How we gradeInspector’s condition notes
The lens is in good condition. The optical elements are perfect with no scratches. Focus and aperture operate as smoothly as new. Internal parts are tight with no loose movement or rattle. The exterior shows normal use overall, with scratches and paint loss on the body. The numbers on the focus scale are not crisp, with some fading or missing.
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.
