I am selling a black Zeiss Tele-Tessar K 18cm F6.3 for Contax rangefinder in good condition. Remarkably, at least by contemporary standards, this is a rangefinder coupled lens. Remember, this was made well before the modern 35mm SLR was invented.
The glass is clear and clean, the iris free of oil, and the focus action smooth. There is a moderate amount of wear and brassing on the body of the lens and finder, but considering the lens is at least 75 years old, it's not too bad! While the Contax 18cm/6.3 is obviously an item of particular interest to collectors, it makes surprisingly good images too, and if I have time I'll post some on my blog shortly.
The lens comes with the matching (and rare) Zeiss 18cm accessory shoe finder. The front cap appears to be original, and the rear cap appears to be a post-war Zeiss-Ikon cap.
Price: $1200 plus insured shipping
Terms: Right now I can only accept a bank check or cash for this. I can ship the lens to any country where insured shipping is available (that's most countries)
