SMC - you've got a good one - I'm pretty sure that if memory serves me right I can vouch for this particular lens! It accompanied me to Botswana amongst other places, and it is capable of amazingly sharp shots.

The lens is the later model 55BB, from my sparse experience very very similar to 55B.
Info on the lens here and here.
You can also read more comments from me here and here.
If properly focused it can give surprising results.
On review, I thought this was from my 55-300mm, till I found the bokeh very odd.
Even the odd donut bokeh can be pleasing IMO.
Here are some pictures of the lens:
Mechanically its fine, focus smooth, adapter fits fine.
Cosmetically it shows some signs of use, with some scraping of the paint.
It comes with the hood and a generic front lens cap.
I have OM, FD, MD, M42 and K adapters available.
Price is £70 shipped to UK with K adapter. I'll ship worldwide.
