I bought mine Bargain condition at KEH.com, and the glass is clean. KEH is a great source for used lenses. They often beat ebay prices, and you can return an item if you don't like it. Also, you might consider new CV lenses, the 35/2.5 has a good reputation. The difference between used and new prices on CV lenses is typically very small.
