I have one for sale here, I am asking $800 plus shipping and Paypal. It is a new lens, some of the original packaging is missing (Cardboard Inserts), but the lens is LNIB and I have verified that it performs like new.

Contax G 35-70mm

It didn't work well for me until close to 70mm. I'd ver very leery of buying this lens for the Nex 7. OTOH it works great on the Nex5n.

The lens works just fine on the NEX 7. BUT, below 45mm you will need to use corner fix to clean up magenta corners. They are sharp though. FYI my Leica 35mm lux, needs cornerfix on the NEX7...

On the adapter: I'm using a Monza designed for m43 but adapted to Nex via the thin m43/Nex adapter available on ebay. However, it does need to be thinned considerably to fit on the monza.
