Lens was bought new on 10 May 2011. It's very sharp and with nice bokeh (if you care about that), but it draws a bit hard/contrasty. I prefer 'softer' lenses for my b&w.
Included with the lens are the original packaging (foam, plastic, paperwork, box), the original front and rear caps, a 43mm -> 46mm step up ring, and a generic 46mm cap. The step up ring serves the triple function of:
- masking the shiny metal rim (although the lens is extremely resistant to flare),
- allowing the use of the more commonly sized 46mm filters,
- allowing installation of a stronger-springed generic 46mm cap instead of the somewhat feeble original 43mm Zeiss cap (it falls off).
I have used this lens very sparingly, and when I did a UV or yellow filter was always attached (no filters included in this sale). The lens is in pristine condition, absolutely no signs of use. You are effectively buying a new lens. The bill will be included (AFA Fotohandel, Tiefenbach, Germany).
Price (Europe): 530 Euros, shipping and paypal included (bank transfer is also fine). If your address is outside the EU please contact me for a shipping quote.
Look at my excellent feedback on ebay under 'sanderpander'.
Contact me by email (sandermarijn att hotmail dott com) or PM me (may be slower) if you're interested.
Thanks for reading,
Sander
