Internal elements and glass:
Clean, No haze, No fungus, No scratch, No oil on blades, I can’t spot a dust in there but it is possible. I have a test photo below including lens decentered test.
External:
Barrel has scratches from my regular use since it was brought in 2013. I am the original owner and I have never dropped the lens. It is just very hard to keep metal barrel lenses free of scratch when you use it often. I take photo almost every weekend in the past 5 years and this lens go with me 50-60% of the time. Later, I put a protective film on the lenses as see in the images below. The store said it is the same type of film the US military use on their devices in Iraq. It can be removed without leaving sticky substance on the surface but hope who every buy this lens will keep it on. Because it is a bit pricey and once you remove it, you cannot put it back on.
Focus ring : Smooth
Auto focus: Works as good as any 100wr (read forum review)
Quick-shift: Works well
Lens caps:
Rare cap is a Pentax cap.
Front cap - I lose its o-lc52 (front cap) long ago, so the lens will come with a non-Pentax front cap. It has a better griping than the Pentax o-lc52. See image below.
Other: Comes with original hood - PH-RBE49 | original soft case - S80-120 | original box and all of its documentations.
Extra: A 49 mm male to male adapter ring for doing macro lens stack for greater than 1:1 magnification.
