For sale to organize my collection. This is a lens from the time Minolta collaborated with Leica, and it's said to be a sibling lens to the Leica VARIO-ELMAR-R 35-70mm f/3.5. It's a lens that takes great pictures and is highly recommended. This lens has a MINOLTA (Minolta) MD mount, but since there is no category for it, I am listing it in the Nikon F mount category. [Appearance] There are very minor scratches from use, but it is in beautiful condition with no major scratches or damage. [Optics] The optics are generally very clear. There is some minor dust that does not affect the image quality, but there is no mold or haze. There is no oil on the aperture blades. [Operation] The aperture operates correctly. The focusing ring operates smoothly with appropriate torque. [Included Accessories] ・Front cap (genuine) ・Rear cap (genuine) * Please note that this is a personal inspection, so there may be some issues I haven't noticed. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. [Important] If you would like to negotiate the price, please be sure to include your desired price.
