Extremely sharp lens in nearly perfect condition. This is my sharpest lens. Color, Micro-contrast, and Bokeh are outstanding. Fantastic for portraits, landscape, and macro. It's so sharp I even use it for wildlife occasionally and crop (see pics below in second post).

Perfectly smooth manual focus and extra long throw make it very easy to nail focus. Includes both caps, hood, box, original plastic bags/foam and documentation. Glass is perfect. Also includes a neoprene lens pouch. Pouch has a built in rain cover. Price includes paypal fees and shipping to Continental US. Thanks for looking!

Thanks, I appreciate it!

I think BIF is really not that hard with this lens mostly due to the really long throw and damping. The other big factor I think is that the lens sharpness and micro-contrast means one can take a shot at 100mm and crop a lot. I tried similar shots with the Nikon 105 f/2 DC and 85mm 1.4g and the images don't stand up to that kind of cropping. Both the other two lenses are sharp but nothing like the Zeiss.

The edge to edge sharpness shown in lens rentals bench tests are pretty much ideal for landscape use (see chart below). With this lens it's uncanny how you can crop a corner of a shot (say with a flying bird in it) and still get a razor sharp image. I'm used to using long lenses with AF for BIF where you have to have the red focus box on the bird all the time. But with MF and edge-to-edge sharpness the bird can be anywhere in the frame and still be sharp as long as your focus is close and you are using a large enough aperture for adequate depth of field.
