This object is 9/10 and comes with original lens caps and original holder, I couldn't find the leather cord.
It has a little dent on the outside of the lens but this is minimal and can be fixed by a repair shop.  This was no problem for me in the pictures I took, I loved it and it works like a beast.

I don’t know a single photographer who wouldn’t go crazy for an 85mm f1.2 lens. But some just seem incredibly expensive. And that’s what’s making us scratch our heads about this Canon 85mm f1.2 FD SSC Aspherical lens. Various reviews and folks online say it’s one of the best lenses ever made. Of course, Canon lens users have always loved their f1.2 lenses; it’s part of what makes the system so special. 

You can adapt it to various camera systems. I’d go for Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon Rf, or Leica L mount if anything.

A guest blog post by Dirk De Paepe on Steve Huff’s website said:

“Many have considered this as one of the best lenses ever made. I don’t have the authority for such a bold assertion, but I do want to state that I believe it delivers stunning performances, even to current standards. In fact, when combined with a modern high-resolution sensor, like the 42MP Sony, I find it opening a whole new world of detail, sharpness and shallowness, granting me a level of satisfaction, way beyond what was possible when shooting it on an old FD film camera. However, to get access to this higher performance level, one must proceed with the greatest care. Regular, faster-taken shots show this good old 85/1.2 like it’s always been known and appreciated for. But in those carefully focused shots, taken with a hi-res sensor camera, I truly believe there’s some new mojo going on.”

Lens - Very good
