An example of my new Mirotar 8/500 lens.
It's really a nice lens, but difficult to focus. Mostly I'm focusing with live view.

About how much does the MMJ C/Y 80/2.8 go for these days?

Anyone?

Erm, unless there is a Yashica 80/2, I think you might have stumbled upon the Contax 645 AF 80mm f/2, which is a fully electronic lens. It can only be used on smaller cameras via a Contax 645-Contax N adapter converted by conorus, the last I knew. They can't be worth much, as they were the kit lens for this system. Around here, maybe 350-450 Euro or so? Nice lens, nice look, but not that sharp until stopped down a bit. A Contax 85/2.8 might be a better bet.

If you are talking about the C/Y 85/2.8, I would say $300-$400 depending on condition. That being said, there is one on the B&S board for $260.

A good deal IMO, I would grab it if I didn't already have a ZE 85/1.4, Contax 85/1.4, Canon 85/1.2L and a Rokkor 85/1.7 on the way.

Hmm, I think I misread 2.8 as 2.0… Weird. Bad font, yeah, that's the reason, bad font

It was a double whammy maybe, mis-typed and mis-read!

Soooo,

What does the Zeiss C/Y *T 80mm f/2.8 go for?

(not the 85/2.8 and not the 645 AF 80mm f/2)

Anyone know? I can't find any references to it. I have one being reserved for me (for a week only) at $375 and wanna know if that's reasonable or not.

And so this isn't too off topic here's a shot with the MP100/2.8 C/Y:

That lens does not exist.

No surprise

Ask for a photo, Bif. I don't think this lens exists. Probably they read a digit wrong.

Oh, damn! You guys are right of course... it's the 85/2.8

And to make matters worse it was my own type-o. The reserve paper says Contax Sonnar 85/2.8 right on it.

I feel pretty lame.

So, $275 with scratches all the way up to $400 when minty?

Now off to find some image samples to see if it's worth playing with.

The first shot is great, Dmitri. Remind me of Blade Runner.

Aah! I really wanted to make it Blade Runner style. Please accept my humble gratitude!
I am also trying to negotiate the concept with few models right now, so hopefully CY thread will have few more interesting posts..

Very Blade Runner, indeed. It has a feel to it that transports the viewer to the scene in an interactive way...like I could smell the steam and air and hear the cars and voices down the alleyway.

Very cool.

Thank you very much. I am not entirely satisfied with the PP, but it's most certainly an interesting theme to continue working on..

Glad you can feel the atmosphere.
