My first instinct was that it was a fake pic based on the 35-70mm
F3.6 but the zoom ring is wider and the focus ring narrower. It
certainly looks the business. Amazing.
The fact that it's marked MC should give a rough dating.
The focus ring is very slightly shorter on this than on the 35-70/3.6
- 8 rings of dimples as opposed to 9.5. I can't see anyone bothering
to do that for a PS fake.
With something this rare, if true, you'd have to try and find a
replacement part for the front ring - it may be shared with something
less exotic
Someone in Japan wants to pay a lot of money for this, I'd venture.
