Zeiss Planar 35mm f/3.5 lens for Contax rangefinder cameras. Made in Germany. Serial # 1589516. Compact 35mm f/3.5 wide angle lens. Rare lens to find. Classic sharp Carl Zeiss Planar lens to fit the 35mm Contax series of rangefinder cameras like the Contax 1, Contax 2, Contax IIa, Contax IIIa ect.

This lens is in Ex+ or 8.5/9 of 10 cosmetic condition. No dings or dents. Overall very nice condition lens especially considering it age. Nice condition chrome lens barrel and lettering. Few very small dust spots inside that can be seen with a flashlight only. Single coating on this lens in good condition. Couple of very minor coating/cleaning marks on the front that will have no affect on your photos. This lens was CLA'D, and the optics on this lens have been clean best as possible for a vintage lens. Smooth working lens aperture. This lens should produce some nice sharp, and contrasty images. This vintage "classic" hard to find Zeiss Planar 35mm f/3.5 wide angle lens sells with no reserve at $475.
