This one is hard to let go. But I haven't shot with it for over 3 years now. So here goes:

Zeiss Ikon Contax IIa color dial body is in great condition consmetically. See photos. Rangefinder/viewfinder is accurate and clear except fot two surface spots that is not visible when viewing. Shutter in excellent condition but I recall 1/1250 is not accurate.

Zeiss-Opton T* Biogon 35mm f2.8 is in excellent condition. This is a very desirable and hard to find lens made in West Germany as distinguished from the Jena version that was made in East Germany. Includes the proper (original) front/rear Zeiss metal lens caps, and a Zeiss leather pouch which I think is also original. Mechanically focusing and aperture rings are smooth. Optically crystal clean and clear; no fog, fungus, separation or scratches.

Three Zeiss 2x push-on color filters; yellow, green, orange all in original plastic case and box. All marked Zeiss Stuggart.

All the above for $750 net to me. A similar lens in not as good a shape and without the leather pouch sold for $495 on eBay. Contax iia Color-dials go for $250-$300. So I am basically throwing in the filters for free.
