The Contax 45mm F2 is the star of the G lineup (I used to have a Contax G1/G2) and probably the highest resolution 35mm lens I've ever used. The lens is coupled to the rangefinder and brings up the 50mm framelines. There's some minor dust in the lens but nothing that will impact photos. I added the TAAB focus ring to make it easier to focus. Includes hood/caps

Contax G 90mm F2.8
Withdrawn
Price: $550.00 Payment method: PayPal Item condition: 10 Preowned equipment, but appears as new Shipping instructions: USPS included in the US
The 90mm lens is underated as far as portrait lenses go. The Sonnar formula gives a really great transition between in focus and out of focus areas and the lens is sharp from corner to corner at F2.8. There's some minor dust and some cleaning marks on the elements but nothing that will impact photos. I added a TAAB focus ring to make it easier to focus. Includes hood/caps

I have no knowledge of this seller but however I can endorse both the good quality of conversion work by "rework" (when you can get him to do them !) and of good copies of these lenses - I have used them for years on Leica M cameras and on Sony A7R2's and they are very special - and having recently bought a Hasselblad X1D I have been trying all my lenses - that might work via adapters - and have been amazed by the quality of the images from these Contax G lenses - albeit after some cropping out of vignetting on the 45 and a little on the 90.
So kudos for the lenses and the converter - NO knowledge of the seller or skin in the game on that aspect !

Yeah I tried them on my GFX 50r and with some cropping it still produces pretty amazing results. The one thing I've heard in favor of rework-lens vs MS Optics and Hawk's is that the rework-lens' conversion tends to be more ergonomic (not to mention economical)

When he gets it right I think he really does get it right - but whether through communication problems or what I once had to return one for immediate 'repair' and all I got was a full refund and when he advertised it again repaired I bought again - crazy but maybe just language problems - but it worked out fine in the end!
