A most excellent deal...
I am in the South of France.
There I was checking out a 'brocante' (antique store) and found an old 14mm tokina lens, Nikon mount sold for 1 Euro. At that price, what the heck?
I checked it and the seller said it was mounted on an old post office sorting machine.
Effectively a ring was out of whack but the rest seemed ok so... I paid my Euro, went my merry way.
I tested the lens this morning... IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM!

So can you post some photos taken with this lens for us?
Yes, this looks very good, you got a bargain in this lens.
How about posting a pic of the lens?

This is the trip you were not looking forward to - I bet you are having a whale of a time.
Great purchase.

I'm very curious how you sent or made this raw file to make it available?

I use my own web site as storage and post a link to the file.
Damned since this was not a main photography section in my opinion (finding a bargain) the op moved it here anyway...
Strange.

Well now I am not looking forward to return...
Truth is is not the staying or returning but being stuck for 24 hours in planes or airports. I do not like being treated like cattle.

A little CA, but nothing out of the ordinary for a lens this wide - great catch!
