These lenses have their original glass, original coating (giving very nice flares), and iris.
With their iconic 9-Blade iris, these lenses have a distinct rounded corner triangle shaped aperture. That means when shooting stopped down, out of focus points of light have a iconic triangular shaped bokeh. This does not occur when shooting wide open. The iris also gives a more gentle focus roll off.
These lenses are very delicate. With rear elements being exposed on some lenses. Extra care is needed for use.
Lenses used on such iconic movies as Taxi Driver (1976), Raging Bull (1980), The Shining (1980).
