Up for sale is my Contax Zeiss 85/2.8 Sonnar T* manual focus lens (AE version) with a Haoda AF-confirm adapter for Canon EF mount. Lens is in remarkable condition, clean glass, no nicks, scratches, or smudges. Aperture blades clean and snappy. Lens was recently inspected and cleaned by Mark Hama. This is a focal length that I normally do not use, hence the need to find it another home. IQ is typical Zeiss...great color, great contrast, and sharp as a tack.

As stated, sale includes the lens, front Contax cap, Haoda AF-confirm adapter, and rear Canon EOS cap. Asking price is $325 shipped and paypalled to a confirmed address in CONUS. Price difference for shipping elsewhere (must be a confirmed address) will be additional at buyer's cost. Sample pics and actual lens pics below. PM or email will work. Thanks for looking.

How flexible are you on the 85 f2.8 and what camera do you use it on?

I answered your question in a PM...

EDIT: Just in case others are wondering, I've used this lens on my 5D, 30D, and IR-converted 10D without any problems or issues.
