Hi folks,
I’m letting go a Contax Zeiss Distagon T* 18mm F4.0.
This is the MMJ version that was made in Japan. What’s interesting is that it has a late serial number 8xxxxxx and very rarely does it appear on sale. I own 2 copies of this Contax 18mm F4.0 and I’m keeping the other one, which is less mint.
Condition is between excellent to near mint, for both optics and body. Some dust fibres are present, which are normal but nothing that affects the final images.
Mechanically, it's great. Aperture clicks nicely, focus turns smoothly.
A lot of you will know that it didn’t originally come with its own metal hood. After a few months of searching, I managed to trace and buy one (not cheaply, I might add). I will include it together with this to make it a more complete package. Despite being named like a step-up filter (Contax 70/86), this is not a screw-on hood, but a push-on one.
Altogether, you will receive the lens, metal hood, original front pinch cap and generic rear cap, original unopened Contax lens pouch, box and some certifications.
Asking price $850 + shipping to your location worldwide. I’ll take care of Paypal fees.
If you're interested, PM works great.
