These are hidden gems of the Kowa line. The Kowa R primes perform well wide open, sharp but not clinical, low contrast, some barrel distortion on the wider lenses, beautiful pronounced flares, and soft pleasing bokeh. These lenses were born to shoot wide open, and they really shine on full frame cameras. I couldn't find many examples of this lens online but I saw a few that were beautifully rehoused for cine.
Included are the 28mm f3.5 SER, the 35mm f2.8 SER, the 50mm f1.9 SETR, the 100mm f3.5 SER, and the 200mm f4 SER. This would be an excellent lens lineup for shooting video.
They are all in excellent condition with light wear and work perfectly. There is a very slight haze on an inner element of the 100mm and a small cleaning mark on the front element of the 135mm. I can only see them with a bright flashlight, it will not impact your image quality. Otherwise, the glass is clean and scratch-free with no haze, fungus, nor other issues. The focus is smooth. There is a small amount of oil on the aperture blades but it does not impact their function.
Front caps are included along with everything pictured. The kit comes in a Loweproo camera bag.
