hi all

The ebay seller says it has "Signs of wear. Dust, dirt in the lens system." and when i asked them about how ...much dirty it is, they replied:
For analog cameras, no problem.
With digital cameras could be something to see.

I cant understand if it is usable or not Would it shoot clear photos ?

please advice i urgently need your assistance

It doesn't sound as though it's worth taking the chance. If it's a Pentax SMC 50mm f1.7 then these often come up in good condition (clean optics) for quite low prices. There are several Camera shops that have them for around £30, and on Ebay they will often be found with an old M camera body for £15-£30.

Leave it and wait for another one - they're always coming up
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass
