This lens has an elongated tubular shape with a large front lens surrounded by a black fluted lens hood, which shows signs of wear and fine scratches. The body of the lens has a light grey metallic finish with black textured adjustment rings, allowing for a good grip for adjusting zoom and focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSeveral markings are visible on the rings, including orange and white numbers serving as indications for focal lengths and focus. The central ring, ribbed for better grip, is typical of lenses from the 1960s to 1980s, often used on professional television or video production cameras. The overall appearance clearly evokes early Japanese manufacturing, as indicated by the keywords and the characteristic design of that era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lens barrel features an alternation of smooth and textured areas, with a distinct contrast between the black upper part and the rest of the body with its light finish. The inscriptions are clearly legible, facilitating identification of the model and its intended use, particularly for vintage video or television cameras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe front lens appears clean, but the lens hood and rings show signs of use, confirming the object's age. No major cracks are visible on the presented side, but the patina and handling marks are consistent with intensive professional use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eToday, this type of lens is mainly sought after for decoration, collection, or the restoration of old audiovisual equipment. The set offers a very distinctive retro aesthetic, with a design typical of television camera accessories from Japan in the second half of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item sold as is.
