i just received a 75 from Ben Crabtree.

the lens arrived in essentially perfect optical condition-i give all lenses a strong flashlight test and this 75 is the best i own- i'm pretty picky.

mechanically and cosmetically mint/mint-. after some of the stories i've read here, this lens can be considered new, or even better than some new examples (c. chen going through 3 items before satisfaction).

included both caps, leica filter and packed carefully.

the beauty of this forum.
