FS: Contax Zeiss 18mm Distagon f/4, w/Canon adapter


I have a good copy of a Contax Zeiss 18mm Distagon f/4 (AE, made in Germany) that I am offering for sale. Sale price is $525. Includes shipping to CONUS. Certified check, USPS money order or verified PayPal accepted (buyer pays PP fee). CONUS only please.

Included at no extra cost is the excellent HappyPageHK adapter for Canon mount (although you can buy your own adapter and use it with any system). These are $85 new. The adapter features focus confirmation, and EXIF. Note: This particular adapter cannot be used on a 5d.

I bought this lens at KEH for $665 in June. It was described as EX condition, which was very conservative. Glass is perfect. Any wear is extremely minor. You\'ll receive the lens, and the original push on Contax lens cap. I used this with a 1dsIII for many months. I tested it against my 17-40mm, and ultimately kept the 18mm for wide angle use.

(I will consider a trade for a sharp Sigma 12-24mm f4.5-5.6 EX DG.)

I used this with a 1dsIII for many months. I tested it against my 17-40mm, and ultimately kept the 18mm for wide angle use. The corners on the CZ were MUCH sharper, when stopped down to f/8, f/11 - my typical range. Almost no distortion. I no longer have the 1ds3, and no longer need this lens.
