wongiboi,
This page may help:

I've used it fairly successfully. One caveat, though: it won't help with text that is in images.

Oh thanks. I initially tried an online translater but the results were not very clear. I wanted to make sure the lens was in good condition because I read 'scratches' and 'fungus' in the item description.

no scratches, but possibly fungus.

cheers,
s.

Hmmm I really dont want fungus :S

You really don't want fungus if it's a summicron, those from the 1950s seem to have their lens elements coated in 'fungus-chow', and the fungus eats into the glass too.

Thanks guys but sebastel was kind enough to do it for me.

Its a 40mm Summicron-C, just run a search and its there.
