Quick catch and release, no more M mount for me
Glass is perfect, barrel showing some slight signs of use. It comes with the Zeiss hood and generic front/rear caps, no box. Most likely optimized for 2.8 but I haven't tested.
Have all positive feedback here, on RFF, and ebay
950 net to me

Is this a screw mount? Do you know the year of manufacture? I'm just getting interested in the old glass, and the old Zeiss is particularly complicated to me.
Thanks.

Be very wary of old Zeiss Sonnars in Leica Thread Mount; very few genuine ones were produced and the vast majority are Russian copies. This lens is not from that era.

Very easy to tell if it's calibrated for f1.5 or 2.8: Just photograph a ruler at an angle @ 1.4, with a mark at the point you focused on. If the image is sharpest at that point, it's 1.5. If it front-focuses it's 2.8.
