Have a couple of lovely items that I rarely use unfortunately.
1. Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 180mm F2.8 Pentacon 6 mount. ($220 NET)
This is a lovely Zebra version of the lens and an absolutely fantastic performer. The bokeh of this lens is legendary and rightly so.
The lens can be easily adapted to pretty much any camera system with easy to find adapters on flea-bay. I am not supplying it with the adapter.
Condition of the lens: optically and cosmetically it is in fantastic condition. Nothing but a few specks of dusk. There is one tiny coating blemish on the front but I have never had any issues with it and it certainly does not impact image quality.
Mechanical condition: perfectly normal except for two minor issues.
(a) The focus can come across a tad bit on the stiff side for folks who have never used this lens. I have used 3 copies of this lens and this is normal in my experience. However, as you focus from 7 feet (close focus) to infinity there is one point in the travel when it does get a bit stiffer, but nothing that has ever bothered me.
But thought I should point that out.
(b) With the aperture set to F2.8, as you focus towards 7 feet, the aperture ring moves ever so slightly. Only the rings moves....I cannot notice any appreciable movement in the aperture blades themselves.

Asking: $220 NET to me.
2. Nikon K Extension Rings: K1-K5 with original Nikon case ($25 NET)
Nothing much to say here. Item is in great condition.
Comes with case. There is slight damage to the inside of the case.
Please check detailed images to get an idea of the item's condition.
