Latest acquisition for less than £50 inc postage.

Someone had had it apart and failed to reseat the aperture linkage correctly  and damaged a screw head - easy fix with the right tools and a spare screw!

It is a good lens to have a little soft at f1.4 but at f2.0 is really sharp but improving all the way to f5.6-8.  
The f1.2 version is similar softish wide open but by f5.6 is critically sharp.
