Be sure and point the Nikkor at the sun for a few shots. That lens gives the most incredible flare effects.

Just picked up this leitaxed zeiss 85mm f2.8 for my D7000, it looks like there is some sort of chip on it??

Fly -- Nice score! Anxious to see what your pictures are like.
I just closed an ebay auction for a Contax Zeiss 50/1.4 T* Planar for $270, which seems a pretty good price, especially compared to the $600 for a ZE that I couldn't focus properly. Serial # is 6434357 -- I don't know if Zeiss is religiously observant of numbers, but I've seen some 50/1.4 T* in the 600xxxx range. Is this a newer lens? Is there a serial number chart somewhere, like there is for Nikon?
Overall the lens looks nice, but statement says "Lens and diaphragm are clean, but focus ring is a little tight and hangs up a little" -- perhaps that will smooth out with use. I ordered a Hong Kong EOS adapter with the focus confirm/exif chip -- we'll see! And ordered a HK metal screw-in hood.
Anyway, I'm jazzed, and hope it works.

Very nice indeed, Daniel. What are those flat, black boxes? "Large format" memory cards?

45s Carsten, I wanted rear shift, tilt and swing. To my knowledge this is the smallest Ebony 4x5 model to allow those movements in any reasonable fashion.
Jim, They are indeed, they hold 2 images per card as uncompressed 48-bit TIFF files with a resolution of ~4800dpi, so they have a capacity of about 10GB each
not bad considering how old the technology is.
I must say, the mechanical excellence (and smell!) surpasses even Leica

I wish it was pinned, I couldn't find it and it's now locked, should we start a new thread? or try to get the last one unlocked?
