It may be old but the lens (at least its UV/IR version) is in current production!!

The lens turned up today and is nowhere as bad looking as the images online made it out to be - a good exterior clean and it is presentable.

As far as image quality goes, here is a close up taken with it - the lens actually goes down to 1: 0.88 with the extension tubes , but this was taken at 1:2.



The focus ring is smooth to turn but a bit "heavy", maybe the helicoid grease has thickened / dried out?
