Condition:
Good vintage used condition overall. The lens shows normal cosmetic wear, rubbing and marks consistent with age and use. Very small/fine threads of fungus are visible within the optical elements. Glass otherwise appears intact. Focus and aperture controls should be regarded as untested unless separately confirmed. Both lens caps are included. Original-style ISCO cardboard case is included and has considerable age/storage wear.

Vintage ISCO-Göttingen Isconar 1:4/100 camera lens with M42 Pentax/Praktica screw mount.

Lens details:

• Brand: ISCO-Göttingen
• Model: Isconar
• Focal length: 100mm
• Maximum aperture: f/4
• Mount: M42 42mm screw mount
• Serial number: 601386

The M42 screw mount was widely used on vintage Pentax/Asahi Pentax, Praktica and numerous other 35mm SLR cameras and can also be adapted to many modern digital cameras with a suitable adapter.

Optical condition: Very small/fine threads of fungus are visible internally. They appear limited rather than extensive, but the lens has not been dismantled or professionally inspected. Some normal internal dust may also be present. This should be taken into account by buyers intending to use the lens photographically.

Externally the lens presents well for its age, with wear to the black finish and exposed metal edges.

The cardboard ISCO case has substantial surface wear, scuffing and deterioration around the edges but is a nice period accessory to retain with the lens.
