I have this lens which came in a camera bag in a state of disrepair - I think someone has had a go at it before me - I managed to re-assemble it and had it working for a while, but then it decided to stop working again and I haven't been able to fix it. So it's been bugging me for the past month or two, and now I've had enough of it! I'm putting it up for spares or repair if anyone wants it, maybe it just requires a bit of patience and a steady hand (I thought I had these, appears the patience ran out).

I will list on eBid in case anyone wants it, maybe the aperture blades are useful, or the screws. The lens itself has a small bit of fungus in the front element so it was never worth much anyway, but when working was an excellent lens (I will be looking out for a replacement one).

Here is the link to the auction:

And if you want to find my other photography auctions there:

The x2 multiplier shown in the photo is not included in the eBid sale (above the first metal ring).
