It's entirely possible that the engraving is the primary reason for the
bargain designation. Schnozz will have your scalp for the inference that
it's the Ag that did it....

Subject: [OM] KEH Bargain = silvernose?
Hi Zuiks:
I just had a visit from the Big Brown Truck. He dropped me off a 100/2.8
from KEH. It was rated as "Bargain" by KEH. The aperture is crisp and oil
free, glass is clean and scratch-free, very little wear, even on the
aperture ring. The only "drawback" that I could see was the silver nose.
Ditto for the 21/3.5 that I bought from them last week.
Now, two samples is not statistically significant, but I'm curious: does a
silver nose equal a "Bargain" designation?
The 100/2.8 also has the former owner's name and SSN engraved on the barrel.
Any good ideas for "un-engraving" a lens - black paint?
Thanks!
Bill Stanke
