I purchased this lens last year and have since used it on a couple projects. Still in excellent condition. Glass is free of scratches, internal dust and fungus. I've only used this to shoot black and white film, but it seems like it would lend color images a warmer look, like many old Cookes.

For a sample of this lens in use, it's the main wide lens used in this video.

Comes with PL adapter installed that you can keep on, remove to swap adapters, or go with straight Arriflex mount. A note on the focus ring: with the modification to PL, the locking pin is no longer engaged, so that focus is controlled at the end of the lens barrel (there's a geared ring installed here). Focus points can be written on with paper tape. Comes with front and rear caps.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
