A very basic, slow Soviet telephoto lens from a past era, BUT it has 12 diaphram blades that create an almost circular aperture at any f-stop, rendering very nice bokeh.
Cosmetically the lens barrel has numerous chips and abrasions but the front and rear elements are clean and unscratched, although a couple of small specs of internal dust are visible when holding the lens to a bright light. The focus and aperture rings have no loose play and are reasonably smooth, considering both the age and (Soviet) pedigree.
It comes with M42 to Four Thirds adapter, metal screw-in lens hood, front and rear caps and a rigid plastic case, which is worse than useless but I'll include it as it's part of the original equipment. I'm also including a soft, padded lens pouch which is more practical.
Sample pictures taken recently (with cheap extension tubes, not included) can be viewed here.
