Okay, so I was trying to accumulate some lenses in ML and Contax versions, and had one each of the 135/2.8. Then a compact version came up for auction, and I won it. "Now that would make a nice trio for a lens test" I thought to myself.
Alas, when the ML 135/2.8 C arrived, it was trashed. Pretty well beat up is more like it. There were so many dents in the lens barrel, it wouldn't focus, and the bayonet mount is also bent. I did manage to loosen up the focus ring a bit, but it doesn't achieve Infinity.
Oh well, I didn't pay too much for it, and can't get a refund as it was sold "As Is" from a charity site. The glass cleaned up nicely though.
