Hi Bob, What you are seeing is spherical aberration. Lenses on snapshot cameras are not corrected for this, as it is only apparent in architectural and macro photography. It causes straight lines to appear curved. Regards, Norm

I've looked them over pretty close, and I think they are very honest, and very nice.. Having said that, they are not mint.. The un-numbered fxo's are a desirable mag... tough to find before the internet.. But, they are around lately... I see a lot of nicer mags listed on auction sites for $200.00 to$250.00, but in tracking them from week to week, I see they seldom sell for that... $150.00 would certainly be the friendly price... $175.00 probably true value... Remember.. $250.00 to $300.00 will buy a stone mint one.. either aluminum bottom or Black Plastic... As for originallity, look at the rivets, perfect and not altered.. then, look at the blue on the bottom edge of the magazine shell... front & back... all there.. Nice mags... I hope i end up with'em...

.. Best to all, til...lat'r...GT
