Elegant google translation

This is from the listing of a lens being sold from Japan on ebay. I'm guessing it was translated by Google...

============

It is a camera, the state of the lens.
A state. . . It is a lens of USED (excellent) screw mount M42.

"Beauty state"
An outstanding wound. . . I am not seen. Very beautiful.
An outstanding dent. . . There is not it
Working conditions. . . I worked and checked it, but the problem was not seen.

"Optical system"
Frosted glass. . . There is not it
A wound of the lens surface. . . There is not it
The very small dust enters

"I am not influenced by photography"
According to me, the general evaluation is a 10/8 point.

Please refer to a photograph for the details.

=============

I rather liked it! K.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Almost like haiku

It sounds too poetic for Google, surely!

I have to wonder why it was being sold - the vendor gave it 10 out of 8

May well be too good for Google, but it seems a funny way to translate it otherwise. Haiku indeed. Oh well, those Auto-Takumars are worthy of poetry!
