*by K***L on November 12, 2025*

Order it like a 1-2 weeks ago. Came in the mail when I left To go out of town. But I was Worried the tracking had stop but the seller gave me good info on updates until it came in the US and atl. It’s a nice lens to use. My first vintage and I’m liking how the images looks on my camera. Of course you gotta get used to it so you can master the focus ring etc. it’s a good buy. Slick kinda easy to use once’s you figure out stuff. Came packaged well and new thank god!
