Congratulations. If the 9.0+ condx is accurate, that's a good price.
I did note it's missing the front cap. You will want something to protect
the protruding front element! Two ways of doing this . . . the deep front
cap for this lens, or the very sturdy 49mm-72mm step-up-ring/lens hood with
72mm cap for that. I use the step-up ring with 72mm screw-on cap for mine
and just remove the cap for use; there's no reason to remove the step-up ring.
If you like the super-wides, the 18/3.5 is a great lens. Mine has zero
detectable distortion (barrel or pincushion), although it has some falloff
typical of a lens this super-wide (improves greatly with stopping
down). I've used it for a number of very interesting looking photographs
because of its perspective, one of which is the night TOPE.

low bid via esnipe and was suprised to find that I won the auction with
