Purchased from Ukraine. It's a very old lens, but the condition is good, with no mold, haze, or balsam separation. There are some light cleaning marks that don't affect the photos, but it's in good condition for its age. Test shots were clear with no issues. The focus ring works fine. The aperture ring, being a very old lens, feels a bit stiff, so please be aware of that. Test shots were clear with no issues.
