Leica Summicron-R 35mm f2.0. You don't get such well built German lenses anymore. Comes with a leather Leitz pouch.

Not collector copy. However, it is a well maintained copy. Selling only as I have too many lenses overlapping this focal length.

Below is the Contax 85 f1.4 MMJ converted to Leitax M42 mount. So you can even cap an appropriate adapter and use it on Sony, Pentax, Nikon and of course Canon cameras.

Leitax info -> http://www.leitax.com/

For Canon users, why Leitax when a cheap adapter will do the job? To protect your mirror box from damage. For more info -> http://www.japanexposures.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=41&products_id=267

I have capped the Leitax M42 with a Tagotech M42-EOS adapter. IMO, it looks even better than the original mount.

Contax 85/1.4 price revised to $900. Last chance for you to own a Zeiss for an incredible price
