Yeah, that's the gamble, right? But the f/b on the seller mentioned that he
was scrupulous about descriptions, so I feel reasonably confident. I
wouldn't have bid if the f/b hadn't been specific on that point.

Moreover they are on the rear element, which I feel slightly more
comfortable about than the front. Less blazing light flying about.
