Title: Canon 50mm f/0.95 Dream Lens

There is one small fungus inside that is only faintly visible when light is shone on it. There is a very light haze throughout the interior, resembling wiping marks, which has almost no effect except in backlit situations. / Function:There are some scratches and oil stains on the aperture blades, but the lens generally operates smoothly. There are no problems with other functions. Location: Toyama, Japan |
