Looking for interesting trades either wider or longer, let me know what you have! Turns out I don't shoot as much at 50mm as I thought I might. Estimated trade value around $800 (this lens used to sell regularly a few years ago for $1100-1200 IIRC), plus or minus, depending on what you have.

Lens is in excellent condition, converted by Conurus. Purchased here on FM a couple of months ago, and it's a truly fantastic lens with amazing, rich Zeiss character and incredible 3D sharpness. However, I find myself always wanting wider and/or longer. I thought I'd get along well with the 50mm prime based on my old film days, but it seems like it's not quite my thing.

Attached pics of the lens are from previous owner, lens is unchanged and has been stored in a padded bag. Sample shots with the lens are my own of course.

AF works great with no MA needed on my 6D. Aperture is electronically controlled as normal, no stop-down metering needed. Full EXIF info transmitted.

I'm looking mainly for a 24L or potentially something wider (Canon 15 fisheye, or a Zeiss 21 maybe), would also be looking for a 70-300L, or a 200L prime.

Couple of samples from the lens, nothing exciting but some snapshots to give you an idea. Most of these are wide open, one at 3.5 to illustrate a different look. The forest ones are tough on bokeh will all the crossing branches at all distances, but it still does pretty well.
