For Sale: Zeiss Glass for your Sony Full Frame Camera!
I am offering the legendary 100 mm Carl Zeisss Sonnar f/3.5, 100 mm T* Coated, with adapter for Sony E-Mount, APS-C *or* Full Frame. Super clean. Serial #6641013. Lens includes Sony-E adapter, and offers full frame coverage. Lens can barely be told from new, except for one cosmetic flaw, see below. Glass is perfect - no scratches, sleeks or fungus. Focusing silky smooth and clear. Aperture control is flawless. Offer includes two lens hoods and a Rokunar UV Filter. The lens body is all metal and built like the proverbial brick outhouse. A real cream puff. Compared to a new lens you lose autofocus and auto aperture control - and save many hundreds of dollars for suburb glass. This lens was manufactured in Japan under license and close Zeiss supervision for the Contax SLR, camera and proudly carries the Zeiss name. It is one of the last series made with the latest coating.
The lens has a tiny area where the paint was rubbed off in a carry container. See photo. There is absolutely no deformation of the metal, and the glass is perfect. With Sony E-Mount Adapter, lens is 3 3/4" long (94mm) and weighs 13.5 ounces (383 grams).
Here is a review of the lens: https://phillipreeve.net/blog/review-zeiss-sonnar-t-100mm-f3-5-cy/

This looks like a manual exposure lens. Is it, or does it also operate in full auto mode?

Sorry - should have mentioned that. It is entirely a manual lens. Focusing is dead smooth and iris works perfectly.

For the "M-mode impaired", you can
use such a lens in A-mode or P-mode,
altho P-mode will behave like A-mode.
Nevertheless, you get auto exposure
that monitors scene brightness and
alters camera settings robotically so
that you don't hafta fuss with it. You
set the aperture, camera sets shutter
speed and Auto-ISO.

Right. Most of my shooting I set the aperture, put the camera in aperture priority mode, set the ISO whatever makes sense for the ambient lighting, compose, focus and shoot. Like you say...
