My nagging doubt is that (a lens) doesn't clean well at all or can't be done - a gamble that can only be made by buying. As my own choice is usable lenses - rather than collecting them - this is looking more and more like a option for a give away price only, in case it is no good. Selling it on isn't going to be easy if you know it will never be 100%. Malcolm
