Things often work out for the best. If the previous owner lost something as large as the trim ring just imagine the fate of those little bits like screws or ball bearings.

actually the lens was healthy as a horse (mechanically fit and in good condition).. the only problem it had was the missing name plate and an old appearance due to usage.. i decided not to take the lens because i was thinking of its condition a few years from now if it was with me... the missing nameplate might lessen its protection from moisture and fungus... its really hard when you live in tropical countries like the philippines.. a lot of moisture is around..

thanks dude
