The lens that I bought was said to have been used by the seller's grandfather to photograph flowers. Since I am a great-grandfather, and also wanted to photograph flowers with it, it seemed like a good match. When I received the lens, it was imaculate. I sent her a flower photo from my first test shots, the same one I posted on the LUG. We both came away happy with the deal.
