    Overview

    The Kern-Macro-Switar 50mm f/1.8 lens for Alpa is a vintage macro lens with clean front and internal elements, but the rear element has numerous scratches on one half. The aperture blades function properly but show oil on them, and the barrel exhibits average wear. It suits collectors or users tolerant of cosmetic flaws and willing to accept potential image quality impact from the rear element damage, given its macro capability.
