I got a BGN 24/2.8 from them, and it was in really good shape too...I
wouldn't hesitate to get anythign in BGN or better from them. I also got a
UG 50/1.8, and their comment about optical flaws in their description of
their grading system is accurate: this one has most of the front element's
coating missing. If I could figure out how to extract the glass from the
filter ring assembly, I'd swap it with another 50/1.8's that has a chewed up
filter ring but good glass...
