If you guys are wondering, yes there is no cropping done on the sample images from the lens. This lens covers the full frame of the m43 sensor unlike other C-mount or CCTV lenses where the image circle is smaller than that of the m43 sensor

Some people are concerned about the 6/10 condition rating.

I rate it 6/10 because :
1)The body look slightly dirty, there are no major scratches or dents.
2)There are some oil smudges on the front element which I am not able to take off with a regular lens cloth. I did not bother too much as it doesn't not really affect IQ and that the front element is quite recessed and that my finger can hardly reach the front element to clean it.

And it does not come with caps nor box nor manuals. Its just the lens itself and the adapter.

Bought this lens from another cser about 2yrs ago at i think was $250.

Will throw in another CCTV lens (16mm f1.4) for the buyer since I will not have the adapter anymore. The 16mm f1.4 to me is a toy lens like most other cctv lenses which do not cover the full frame of the m43 sensor. Its like shooting a holga or lomo. Vignetting on the 16mm is horrible. Got this 16mm at USD 20 from ebay.

Took some pictures to highlight the flaws of the lens.

I am shining a torch light at the front element plus focusing is dead on the front element to make the marks very obvious if you still can't find it, its about 5 o'clock position about 3-4 small dots.

Some dirt on the lens barrel, did not bother trying to clean it as this one doesn't affect the operation at all. Also you can see from here how recess the front element is into the lens body.

Some pictures of the 16mm f1.4 I spoke of. FOC for the buyer of the kodak lens.
