 p.1 #1 · FS: Sold: Contax N17-35 | |
This is being listed again after an enthusiastic potential buyer who offered me more than I was asking if I held it for 3 months backed out. Nice one.
Here's the original thread: http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/750452
Up for sale is a Contax N17-35/2.8 lens with hood and filter. This lens has not been converted to EF mount yet. I've been planning to have this lens converted by Conurus but have had a change of heart.
Rated Condition: 94%, conservatively
What's included: lens, original caps, original lens pouch, original GB-103 metal hood, original boxes, brand new in box Contax 95mm P-Filter, Lens Data brochure. I believe the only things missing are some papers (quality control certificate, warranty card, etc.).
External cosmetics: Almost new. This is what lenses look like after they’ve been used only a handful of times. The barrel has no nicks, no marks, no scratches. There is some superficial wear where the hood slides onto the bayonet, and the mount shows some slight wear from being mounted. The hood shows some wear: there are some rubs marks on the inside matte finish, and there is one ding/mark the size of a largish pin prick on the top rim. The front cap is scuffed, probably from rubbing along the inside of a camera bag.
Glass: Front and rear elements are scratch free. Lens coatings are perfect and appear to be untouched (bonus!). There is a tiny amount of superficial, environmental dust on both elements. The only way to avoid this type of dust is to never use a lens.
Mechanics: Fully functional as tested on a Contax N1 camera. Aperture stops down perfectly. AF is perfect. The aperture control ring clicks confidently with no play. The zoom and focus rings are perfectly damped.
Price: $1800, fees and shipping included. PayPal is fine. Canadians willing to do EMT get a $50 discount.
Shipping is by Global EMS (called USPS Express Mail International in the US), which is fully trackable online door-to-door and takes 4-5 business days to most major destinations. I will ship the lens directly to Conurus for conversion if that’s what you’d like me to do.
Will consider trade for Leica-R 80-200/4 in similar condition plus cash.
More pics of the lens available upon request. (Sorry about the sensor dust!  )
