I've decided I can't decide which of the ZM 35s to keep...so I'm putting them both up for sale, and whichever sells first goes. I like them equally, both wonderful glass. Both lenses are in excellent+ condition, with very little to distinguish them from new. I've used them only a handful of times. Glass is clean on both ends of both lenses, and there are miniscule marks on the focusing rings where one commonly focuses.

Zeiss ZM Biogon 35/2













Zeiss ZM C-Biogon 35/2.8













Both are plenty sharp, and render beautifully. The 35/2.8 has a slightly stiffer focus feel, but both are perfectly smooth with no slop i can discern. The 2.8 is very small and compact...the 2.0 goes to 2.0 and has a certain charm wide open. Beyond that...both fantastic. All boxes and paperwork are included.

Because I got reasonable prices when I bought these lenses here and on FM, I'm offering them at the exact same prices I paid, shipping and paypal inclusive.

ZM C-Biogon 35/2.8 - $710
ZM Biogon 35/2 - $920

I feel for you. It is a very hard decision between these two phenomenal lenses. Good luck, you'll miss whichever goes. Bob.

thanks :D

i have a feeling you're right. i tried moments ago to rationalize putting one or the other up for sale...i would rationalize one, and then i would immediately rationalize the other. haha.

hopefully someone makes it quick and as painless as possible.
