[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 110485, member: 6548"] I would pass. My problem with it is that they look pretty rough and you might have one Nikkor in the group and it is old and probably not worth much anyways. When you run across groups of rough lenses like this one usually what you will find is scratched elements, a lot of dust, and many times fungus. If only one of them is fungused up odds are that the rest are carrying the spores too. Trust me my mother is an antiques dealer and buys up every camera lens and group of lenses she comes across for me. 9 times out of ten I run across the situation I described above. She has bought me countless lenses probably nearly a hundred of them. I've only got maybe two or three that were worth it the rest were junk. [/QUOTE]
