Hi all, I just recently acquired this lens and although it seems a bit worse for wear, everything seems to function fine as far as my newbie eyes can tell.
The focus is solid but feels a touch dry as does the aperture preview ring. The aperture select ring clicks solidly for each setting, although both rings feel a little loose, especially the preview lever ring which can be pulled outward and turned freely.
There's also a fair bit of dust and the filter end of the barrel does seem a bit dinged up. I'm not looking for a museum piece as long as it works and lasts. From the searching I did, I love the images it produces.
Is it salvageable? I read that it can be a relatively simple fix to tighten so I want to attempt it myself but if it's not too expensive, I'd probably feel safer shipping it to a qualified hand.
Here are a few pics:
