I just receive this mint lens for 134 euros on the bay
I take it because it have a high serial number and I like it for the beach
Of course it have nothing to do with the king planar 85 1.4
sorry for the model but I had no time for hunt today

Wow, this is a real strike poilu!
A MM Germany copy serial 84.... for a less price than what usually AE copy sell for !!! 
Also, another peculiarity... note it's written "made in Germany", this means the lens is post-1989 ! It is the first and so far only Contax lens that I saw, that was made in Germany and not in West Germany!
OK this is only a collectioner issue, but... it's cute to have one like that.
As for the quality of the lens... I rank it very high - not lower than the Planar 1.4/85, just different.

Thanks dr Klaus!
I didn't notice the 'West' was missing! I was just surprised to see a so high number from Germany
I 'strike' this lens for this price because the title on ebay was 'Carl Zeiss Sonnar 2,8/35mm Contax neuwertig Top-Zustand' 
I just checked the resolution @ 2.8 and the planar is not better.
I don't know if it is just in my mind but I believe that the planar 'pop' more in portrait.
I will have the occasion to investigate more now that I have the lens.

It's certainly a Scandinavian language - not sure if Swedish Danish or Norwegian though. Our Scandinavian members will surely shed a light on that soon.
