Restored: Tested & inspected with special tools and machinery. Working correctly after professional repair or service. Any flaws present will be noted and will not affect typical use.

The aperture mechanisms have been cleaned and lubricated as necessary and the inner lens elements have been cleaned. There are a few small scratches on both the front and rear elements, but they're not noticeable enough to affect use. It comes with an unlabeled clear filter. It's likely a UV based on the (lack of) color.
