I found this on ebay, and the guy says it's a mk1, but it looks like a mk2 without sunshade.
I'm like 100% sure

So watch out if you were looking to buy this lens. you will have a bad surprise.

Edit: I should have post it in the deal or scam section

defffff an mk2. plus look, it only fits vx2s and vx21s...

[RollingEntertainment]

yea, but could have been a mk1 intermediate,
but it doesn't look like a mk1 at all lol
it looks like the guy just took off the sunshade and decide to sell it as a mk1

The guy is also selling a VX2000 with a MK2. I'm with RollingEnt on that he took the shade off to sell it as a MK1-- but it's through PayPal and whomever buys it, and doesn't know or doesn't see this thread could get their money back.

EDIT: I just asked him 'Are you sure that's a MK1? It appears to be a MK2 with the sunshade taken off from the photos. Also, from what I know, the bayonet mounts on the VX1000 and VX2_00 are different and would require two different bayonet rings for this lens to fit on those cameras.'

He replied with 'When I Bought It From My Local Camera Store It Came In An MK1 box, it fits and VX2000 and a VX1000 with a step down ring'

Step down ring? lol It's a bayo..

[Alex Donaldson]

definetly a mk2, you can tell by the bubble like front element and the brown glass. mk1s would have a blueish glass tint. this dudes either really dumb and doesnt know what lens it is or he wants to scam someone

Mk2's have more of a brownish orange tint.
Mk1's have a more blueish tint
