Contax C/Y 28mm 2.8 with EOS adapter

I picked this up about 4 months ago in fantastic shape. The glass is perfect and the body is in excellent condition. The focus is very smooth and the aperture is clean and perfect. I've had great fun with this lens and it delivers the perfect Zeiss look, great color and contrast and that 3d sharpness. I'm just finding that the focal length is just not for me.

Here are some samples taken with this lens on the Canon Rebel T2i.

Includes rear EOS cap and generic front cap.

The EOS adapter is AF confirm but is seems off, I have had more luck with fine focusing in live view. I'm not sure if its programmable to fix this, I have tried several methods for other chips to set it but I have had no luck. My favorite AF chips for alternative lenses are the Optix V5 found on ebay, they work great and can be fine adjusted for focus and programed for focal length.

I'm asking $330. shipped and paypal to US/CAN. It will be shipped USPS Priority and out the door as soon as payment clears.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks as always
Paul
