It's in beautiful condition, with no scratches, clouding, or mold! This lens has an incredible f/0.95 aperture, allowing for extremely blurred backgrounds. The "nokton" designation indicates that it's a lens strong in night photography, capable of capturing starry skies and allowing for shooting in dark places with fast shutter speeds! The lens barrel is made of metal, and the paint will wear over time with use, not from being bumped, giving the lens a unique, aged look. It's a cool lens that develops character!
