There are limited quantities out in some countries. There are some comments about the lens from those who have used them.

As for availability in SG, probably have to check with Shiroro.

Its a great lens. Saw a few in BnS. Think my CV Ultron is as sharp wide open as d ZM 35/2 but faster @ f/1.7. Only thing it's LTM mount.
 

Acquired a copy of the Contax Zeiss 35-70mm F3.4 last month. Paired it with a Leitax adaptor on my 6D. Haven't had the opportunity to use it much yet, but quite happy with the results so far.

F3.4?
Nice shot BTW.
 

Kind of sad to find out that the 50 1.4 C/Y I bought from a seller on the forums turned out to be hazing. I have myself to blame for my lack of diligence in checking the lens but in broad daylight I couldn't really tell that it was there, only when I brought it to Camera Hospital that Steven told me it was hazing, and I felt quite cheated honestly because the listing listed optics as perfect although I have since failed to locate the thread.

Got myself another piece from ebay for about $350 paid for just about 2 weeks ago, and now all the sub-350 sellers start coming out. Zzz. But the problem with this piece is the aperture ring isn't working, the aperture stay wide open throughout as advertised as the seller.

This has been an agonizing month for me having spent more than I originally should have on the lens. Now the hazed copy works as a natural soft focus lens, whom I'm pretty sure no one would take off me for a pretty penny.

Did you contact the seller of the 1st lens to ask for an explanation?

normally if the haze cannot be noticed under broad day light it should be alright for taking pictures. You have tested and the images are soft?
