I'm in Chicago. You pay any associated fees for processing payment (like Paypal) and insured shipping. I believe Chase quick pay is free, I'll take a check as well and ship after clearance, or come pick them up and bring a suitcase full of cash... two dollar bills preferred and I'll knock off $500 if they're sequential! You know what, I'll knock off $500 for anyone that brings cash to swap in person, even if they aren't sequential twos.

"Darn! He sure does want a lot for those lenses... He's crrrrraaaaaaazy!" No, I am very fond of these lenses, and it is with much pain that I part with them... the kind of "from my cold, dead fingers" sort of pain. And, as I describe below, they're almost brand new. I actually don't take them out for fear of marring one. No matter if I welcomed it or not, someone is going to PM me with a low-ball offer. You should know that is usually quite rude. If you're going to do that, try to be classy about it, eh? Okay, here comes
The Sell -
Pristine glass, pristine coatings, everything smooth as silky butter on a cool summer day, bodies are all ALMOST pristine except the three nicks noted in the pictures and the PL mounts that show about twenty or so mount&dismounts... see photos, and note just how much I've zoomed in (apparent in grainy JPG artifacts) to show the marks at their worst. I went back to look for the nicks, and I picked each lens up twice before I was able to find them again. They show like a new Ferrari that had a pebble hit the bumper. Lenses have lived in climate controlled space with apertures wide open and focus set to infinity. This is precisely the kit I would've wanted to show up on this forum when I started piecing together the set with each paycheck.
Imperial Markings, Full Frame Coverage (24x36 sensors), 14-blade iris, 114mm fronts, all are 80mm long except the 15mm which is 86mm.
15mm t2.9 PL mount 12" less a bit close focus - list $5700
21mm t2.9 PL mount 10" less a bit close focus - list $3990
35mm t2.1 PL mount 12" less a bit close focus - list $3990
50mm t2.1 PL mount 18" less a bit close focus - list $3990
85mm t2.1 PL mount 3' 3" less a bit close focus - list $3990
Zeiss laminated focus chart
Zeiss Pelican case with custom cut foam and room for six lenses, six optional lens mounts, and a bit of space for things like a Torx 6 screwdriver, dry erase markers, lens tissue, panchro, etc. - List (before being discontinued) was $360
I have three of the original boxes as well: 15mm, 21mm, and 85mm. They are included in the sale.

FAQ-
What do I mean by "less a bit"?.. it's the additional portion of focus past the last mark where the focal ring is still moving. Take the 15mm for example; its last mark is 12", but it'll go to 10 or less.
None of these are considered "super-speeds". The t-stop is listed beside the lens above. What's the difference between a t-stop and an f-stop? F-stop is the hypothetically how much light should pass through the lens, T-stop is actually measured light transmission. So, your f2.8 lens?.. maybe a t2.9, or t3, or who knows? Okay, lets move on.
The 50mm is not the Macro version.
All of the lenses are PL mount. They do not come with any other mounts. They will be accompanied by a set of Zeiss shims, just in case your camera sensor location is radically different than mine. It's extremely easy to diagnose the needed adjustment and add and subtract rings by using the handy Zeiss shimming guide. All the shims are different colors, just put in what the table tells you to put in.
You need ______ mounts instead?.. you can buy just the mounts by themselves. I purchased all of mine new, because I have a problem with swiping my credit card too easily. You can also buy them used... this forum is a good place to look. I previously had five Canon mounts for these lenses, as I had no PL mount camera at the time. Then I sold the mounts to some lucky guy that got them for 60% off list price. Lucky for him, maybe you'll be lucky too.
I'm selling this package as a set. Dealing with a multiple buyers and shipping is too much of a hassle. If I decide to split them up in the future, it'll be in a new thread when this one has been closed.
How much is shipping? Depends where you are. Unfortunately for many, I will not ship outside the continental US. I do all my paperwork by the book and customs forms are THE WORST. If you're somewhere else, find a friend in the US to ship them to you "under the radar", but I can't do that... sorry. The shipment will come in multiple boxes, as the original boxes will accompany the lenses and Pelican case. Lenses will not ship in the pelican... they're safer laying down during disgruntled-worker handling.
