Optically and cosmetically this lens is pretty much perfect. No dust, haze, scratches or other optical issues. The aperture blades are perfect, and the aperture click stops are nice and distinct.
It produces gorgeous images with that famous Zeiss color and pop.
There is one issue though. The focus is not smooth. There is varying and uneven resistance depending on which way you turn the focus. It is more stiff in one direction that the other.
I have found that the more you exercise the focus the smoother it gets, but it never achieves full as-new smoothness. It's like a higher than standard viscosity grease had been applied in the factory. There is no mechanical resistance, just thick/stubborn grease impeding the normal smooth focus.
Includes front and rear caps. I do not have the lens hood, and I do not have the original box.
If one is into zone focusing this will not be an issue. but for a person relying on fast manual focus it would be an issue. The reduced price reflects this issue.
Price is all-inclusive. No extra charges for shipping, or extra PayPal fees. |
