I think all will agree that sellers descriptions vary widely in their accuracy, their creativity and often on what is not written.
How about this ad on EBay Australia for a brutally honest description?
Nikon Nikkor 35mm f/1.4 Ai Lens really awful condition!
Nikon Nikkor 35mm f/1.4 manual focus lens
This was nearly wrecked when I first bought it thirty years ago but now it's really a disaster!
The focus ring feels like twisting a pepper grinder, really rough.
The outside of the lens looks like it was used in Vietnam!
Even the lens hood is at a funny angle.
The real problem though is the fungus or mould deep inside the lens, please see the photos which I have tried to show how bad it is, frankly I've never seen a lens this bad.
Please don't buy this lens thinking it'll be a cheap way of getting a fast 35mm lens, it's really hazy until about f/4 and even then it's not brilliant.
Comes with rear cap and dodgy hood, front cap, all correct Nikon items.
