why have you removed the rear part of the lens? front and back elements are no longer now aligned at all!

Rear section of that lens is designed to separate from the front half via a single grub screw.

It's how you can adjust the fixed focus distance on that lens...use an allen key to loosen/separate and set focus distance by adjusting distance between optics (body is basically two free fitting tubes) - then tighten the single hex screw to fix position. Aligning the two elements is really easy, rotate until image gets sharp...takes about 20 secs to do all of the above. Very nice sharp fixed focus lens.

I have a similar one, looks the same lens, but different brand.  I don't think it is a sharp lens.  Alignment adjustment is easy.

Although this is not a great test of sharpness per say - it was to see how it performed at f2 with and without diopters.Looked pretty decent to me when set to minimum focus. Very little image aberration considering it's simplistic and compact design.

Sorry, had to re-list this item due to inaccurate previous condition report. Lens is still available and you can find a listing here. Decided to change it to BIN with Best Offer option.
