A classic post-war West German Carl Zeiss Sonnar from the 1950s in exceptional condition! Serial number 1608856.
This lens has received a complete CLA from Henry Scherer at Zeiss Camera (the receipt will be provided) and is in exceptional condition. Glass is perfect and clear with no separation, no fungus, no haze, no scratch, etc. It gives a very beautiful classic rendering with subtle tones. The mechanical construction is as good as it gets, i.e. better built than any Leica lens made after the 60s. All components are Zeiss, i.e. not a mix and match with E.German or Russian parts.
Also included is the Amedeo M-mount adapter ($270) to mount to Leica M-bodies. This adapter is made from solid brass with indents for 6-bit coding.
Reason for selling: Downsizing my lens collection and because I don't use my M8 very often.
$1090 shipped and Paypal included.
