Collector & User Inspection Guide
Haze and Cleaning Marks on Soft Vintage Coatings (v1 / v2)
Early German/Canadian glass from the 1950s–1970s used soft optical coatings. Inspect with a strong penlight through the open iris to check for internal haze (lubricant breakdown) or hairline cleaning marks on the outer elements.
King of Bokeh (v4) Plastic Aperture Ring & Tab
Version 4 "King of Bokeh" uses lightweight composite materials for the crescent finger tab. Check that the tab is not loose, cracked, or glued back on.
