WTT/B: Zeiss 85/1.2 60 years MM

Hello all. After some years considering what might be my perfect lenses, it seems this lens is still on the top of my list. fwiw, I require 60 years for MM, to allow a reversible Leitax conversion to M42 (I will use on an A900)

I have collected a range of excellent lenses which have lead me up to the point I'm at regarding the 85/1.2, many of which I would consider expendable to get it, such as:

- Zeiss Jena M42 fat Biotar (excellent) - I prefer Helios 40-2, I also have.

- Zeiss C/Y 85/1.4 Planar MMJ (near mint) with Leitax M42.

- Zeiss C/Y 35/1.4 Distagon MMJ (near mint) with Leitax M42 - I have the Zeiss ZA 16-35 which I consider a fantastic lens which could cover the range.

Any thoughts/trade possibilities?

Kind regards,


Kelly.

I have a mint 21/2.8 C/Y MM lens that generally consider one of the best wide angles ever made (German) . Mint box etc. If you have any interest lets talk.

Hi Roger - thanks. I'm after only the Jahre 85, been a 'dream lens' for me for a while now. The 21 is certainly well regarded however, enjoy it while you have it.

Regards,


Kelly.
