NOTE: the brass m39 to m42 step up ring cannot be unscrewed from the lens – it appears to be stuck.

Glass is clean and clear, no fungus, no haze, no scratches!
Few light wipe marks / some internal dust particles are present, but nothing to affect the image quality.

Mechanics are excellent, focusing is smooth and uniform.
