Repaint it, give it a new name and charge $1500 USD. Somehow I don't think this will sell too quickly.

Perfect for one of those Paul Smith Leicas.

taobao can be a steep place.
Just read the first line of the description I'm pretty sure the seller is mimicking Lomography's marketing style.

Judging by the colour that is a German lens - they are usually rather expensive 😀

This lens would look good on a Hermes Edition M! 😀

It says "Art" right on it. That means its good, right? Right?

 

[JOCO34]

It's for "Art" and it must "Perform". After all it says so right on the front!!!

 

[ForestCap]

Art lens has been the meta for a while. 😀

They could at least clean the lens off first. Or is that part of the "art" designation?

Yeah, dragging the cursor over the front element shows MAJOR PITTING in the close-up view. Looks like it was used in a sandstorm, and would certainly give an "arty" glow to any highlight.
