Note that KEH gives a lens with fungus an UGLY rating. perhaps the adorama lens mentioned is mis rated. Doesent sound "Good" used ratings | Adorama https://www.adorama.com/g/usedratings Maybe the G ...

It seems to me that you are trying to convey the same thought that I did way upstteam. KEH seems to be known for conservative gear ratings where the stated rating is Actually one better. if their ...
