28mm Contax Carl Zeiss Distagon MM T* f/2.8
Made in Germany.
It's heartbreaking to sell this lens--but, based on the type of video work I'm doing now, it's just not practical.
Best 28mm you can get your hands on, even compared to the modern Zeiss'. Flaring is nonexistent, bokeh is unbelievable, and sharpness is immaculate. Microcontrast abounds. The focus ring turns perfectly.
Optics/Mechanics: Flawless
Cosmetics: Great
Mount conversion performed by David at Leitax in Barcelona. Aperture ring clicks with hard stops, and the dandelion chip has been installed for metering and focal length/max aperture to appear in your Exif. data.
These are hard to come by, ESPECIALLY in a Nikon mount. Don't pass this up.

$650 OBO. I have a B+W MRC Circular Polarizer and a B+W MRC .9 ND available as well (both 55mm--fit the lens). $45 each.
email n.lucianos@mac.com with offers, requests for photos, or any questions. Thanks folks!
