Bonjour,
Another 3€ local French thrift shop bargain, with its case ... but, the aperture is not functioning correctly and hopefully I can free it up or preset it permanently at about f8 or so ... on verra!
If repaired, I'll shoot test samples and post for review ...
EDIT: I repaired this lens leaving it in full manual and made a few test shots. Rather disappointing overall, but I was not expecting much. Barely "5" rating and not worth acquiring unless you pay very little for it.
Salut et bon courage, John le Frog
Here are some additional photos of this lens, etc.
   
EDIT : I believe that this Ifbagon is a re-badged Auto Chinon 135mm f2.8 ... which makes some sense since it was with "Mirageflex 1000 S" SLR which is a re-badged Chinon 1000 S.
