This particular lens is in exceptionally good shape. Very clean and well taken care of. The only thing missing is the original hood. This 210mm f2.8 lens has a large image circle that can cover medium format. The lens has an interchangeable mount that screws off, and a different mount can be put on. It came with a c-mount adapter, and unfortunately, the only camera I have that can use c-mount lenses is the Panasonic G1. This means that the lens will behave like a 420mm f2.8 lens on the G1. You can imagine what's like hand holding a 400mm lens -- extremely difficult to get good focus due to very narrow angle of view as well as the camera shake. Using this lens on the G1 is like putting a Ferrari engine in a Yaris. I can't wait to convert this lens to another mount so that I can use it on full frame.
