Lens is in perfect condition, mechanically, optically and cosmetically.
Comes with original box, quality certificate, front and rear lens caps.
Originally purchased from Japan.

Note, this is the non-CPU version, not the ZF-2, so aperture is set with the ring on the lens, not the dial on the camera. Camera still recognizes the set aperture if your camera has "non-CPU lens" capability.

Nice lens. I will predict that someone will end up owning a nice lens. If I were much younger and did not have all these health issues, I would consider it.

It really is an amazing piece of machinery. Its my first and only Zeiss. I just can't justify owning it given how little I use it.

It just doesn't get any better than this - yes the build quality is superb. I have a couple of Tamron lenses and one Nikon lens but I doubt that they can match this Zeiss prime lens. This won't last long on the for sale list. This should go fast.

smlek,

The lens arrived, and it looks amazing. My first Zeiss lens, and I could not be happier with it. It's just as you described it to be. Oh, and thank you for accepting my offer on the lens. I feel like you gave me a really nice deal on it, and I appreciate it. I couldn't ask for a smoother transaction, and I hope that we can deal again some day.

All the best to you. - cameraniac
