I know nothing about these lenses, so what do you think guys?

Many thanks

This lens came in two versions. Go to Ebay to see the variations. The second version has a smaller front lens element and is better corrected. The lens performs best at f/8. It is light and small. If the lens does not appear to be the second version pass on it. If it is the second version 500 euro is a great price. I sold my modified copy for $1800. The rear lens protective cover needs to be modified to fit Canon and Nikon cameras. Send it to Grimes in the U.S. on the east coast or a professional lens repair person.

Thanks for that, big help. I did check and it is version 1, so yeah, I'll pass.

Thanks again.
