A few photos of the lens...



Some "silvering" around the barrel...

Some marking on the lens mount...

Attempt at showing the hazing - shot with backlight and contrast level dropped to emphasise it...

The "lines" you can see in this last image are reflections from the Xmas paper the lens is on - they are not present in the lens! (Should have shot on a neutral surface!)
Hope that helps

It gets very good reviews over on PF, and is very usable on Digital:

The slight haziness does have a minor impact on some images IMO - the contrast is a touch lower than you might expect, but there have been no shots I couldn't revive with a little PP. It's weakest area is with strong backlighting, but for most shots it is fine.
Here's a few shots taken with it:
Because of the slight misting I am pricing it quite low, hopefully someone will pick up a great "user" lens - or one of you may even be able to service it?
Price: £175 inc P&P.
