I’m selling a collection of the six most sort after Zeiss Contax primes and 2 Zeiss Contax zooms all cine-modded and in excellent condition.
2.8/21mm 8094790 MM
2/28mm 6090185 AE
1.4/35mm 7336689 MM
1.4/50mm 7494581 MM
1.4/85mm 7156019 MM
2/100mm 7010403 MM
3.4/35-70mm 7016527 MM
4/70-200mm 7220878 MM
They are all the slightly later MMs apart from the 28/2 which is an AE. I chose to collect just MMs or the AEs to get a match on colour for the set but the difference I found between the MMs and the AEs is so subtle to be barely discernible. There were some slight improvements made to a few lenses on the MMs so I went with the MMs.
All lenses have been cini-moded. De-clicked, the aperture and dampened, focus gears, Leitax hard EF mounts and universal 80mm front ends.
It’s extremely rear to see a complete collection of the best Contax primes in one place. I’ve been collecting Contax for over 10 years so it’s important to realise that for many of these lenses, I’ve bought 3 or more examples over the years to find one really pristine copy of each.
I’m asking £6500 for the set and I’m based in London.
