PS: Sorry - I forgot, it's German. Tried a babelfish-translation: *g* "From my Pentax collection/equipment here a Pentax SMC f 2.8/135mm objective with interior focusing and inserted extendable back light screen comes. In accordance with test reports mechanically and optically even still better than the Pentax FA successor. Also those as neutrally valid French photo magazine "Chasseur of d'Images" was large the opinion that it belongs to the best 135mm objectives, which they ever tested. The objective is in good to very good condition. In two small places minimum lacquer abrasion is present, sees last picture. All glass areas are clear and without scratches. Supply takes place with original front and back cover. No Ebay fee."
