I purchased this some weeks ago as an open box/return and it came to me as I expected, about as new as I could have wanted. The only flaws I see are where the clips attach the lens cap to the lens hood, there's a pair of small light colored streaks as if someone may have tried to turn the cap off instead of squeezing the clips to open them. Otherwise cosmetically there are no other flaws, scratches, scrapes etc.

I bought this for use on my GH1 and prior to this never had anything this wide before. Since getting it I have just not gotten a handle on the deep focus or deep depth of field, compared to say, what I get with my Rokinon 85mm. Everything I had read says what I have experienced is "just the nature of the beast".

Anyways, comes with the box, the pouch and unfilled in warranty card and instruction sheet.

$245 shipped Priority Mail CONUS with International Shipping possible at additional cost.

Hey Chip, I bought something from you on here before :) Tell me, what is it this lens doesn't do for you? Are you saying you can't get a shallow depth of field like you want? Or...? How does this attach to the GH1, do you need an adapter?
 
Yes, there's no shallow depth of field that I have been able to figure out. I ran a test on it trying out every point on the focus scale, and did see some variation in the focus but that was mostly at the close end, say 3 feet and less. I read as much as I could and one reviewer said "set it at 2' and forget it, everything is in focus". As I posted, I guess that's just the nature of the beast when it comes to short focal length lenses. When I began using third party lenses, I literally had to go get new glasses because I wasn't getting focus right at all. I think that experience spooked me, which makes using this just kinda "different".

Yes I used a Canon EOS to M4/3 adapter, so again, not 1000% sure it's dead on because of that either. I have no qualms this lens is operating perfectly and all issues are most likely "operator oriented". :-)

Sale currently pending.
 
Thanks everyone for the interest and thank you Dwight for purchasing this.

The lens has been sold and on its way to Dwight.

Now can anyone tell me how to get the titles switched from For Sale to Sold ???
