This is a fantastic condition Carl Zeiss 35mm 2.4 FLEKTOGON with smooth focusing end to end action after servicing and regreasing.
Upon holding the lens to natural light outside, the optics are very clear, bright and pleasing to look at in every way.
There is a mini blemish which is insignificant and not easily seen and I mention for accuracy sake. The photos will do the talking,
The cosmetic external body shows some signs of usage.
I have blackened relevant elements as it further enhances performance and reduce light leakage.
The photos show a true reflection of the lens and form part of the descriptions.
The aperture dial turns and clicks as it should from end to end positively.
Snappy and dry great looking clean blades.
The A/M (auto/manual) switch engages and dis engages beautifully like new sounding.
FREE FRONT AND REAR LENS CAPS INCLUDED
I have serviced it like I do with my specialised Helios 44-2's. Ultrasonic cleaning to some metal parts, use quality light weight grease which is thinner and suits these lenses helicoid grooves, use of non abrasive dustless wipes, use of expensive lens solutions, calibrated and tested. Plus I have treated it to a special UV wavelength bath to kill off any potential bacteria as part of my routine services. NOT that it has any fungus to start with.
