Not a bad lens for the time but overpriced now as a collectors piece.  The
one I have has reasonably good distortion characteristics but is very bad to
flare with areas of stark white. Gives a pleasant "older" look to some
shots.  Generally runs $650-800 USD in EX++/mint- alone or around a grand
with finder.  Rear cap is hard to come by if missing, finder is VERY scarce
by itself.
