Thanks, Attila. It is superb. The person I bought it from said she never used it. It still had paper wrapped around it in it's case. I also got a T3, a 50 1.7, and a zoom, all in mint condition. _________________ Cameras; Sony Nex5n Lenses; Konica Hexanons; 21mm f2.8, 40mm f1,8, 50mm f1.4, 50mmf1.7,57mm f1.4, 100mm f2.8, 135mm f3.2, 200mm f4, MC Helios 77M-4 50mm f1.8, Jupiter 8 50 f2, Super Takumar 85mm f1.9, Vivitar Series 1 90mm f2.5 (Macro), Steinheil Munchen Culminar 85mm f2.8, Steinheil Munchen Exagon 35mm f2.8, Jupiter 37A 135mm, Astra Berlin 135mm f3.5, Angenieux 180mm f4 , Tair 3-PhS 300mm f4.5 |

Lens was I think terrible expensive at production time, very hard to find and all MINT if you find any I think rich amateurs bought them and due $$$$ lenses they did care much about may take out only at Christmas We are so lucky to have it.

Thanks! Here is a self portrait. I stood less than a meter away from front of lens. The shot is cropped.

I also have it. It took a while to track down. I'm actually torn between selling it or keeping it (I also have the Contax G 21). It's less sharp than the Contax, but more consistent across the field. One thing I've noticed is its field curvature. It is very pronounced. Would you agree?

Hi Xavier, I've only noticed the field curvature in one shot that I took; of a very tall street light. I need to play around some more with it, but yes, on certain shots it (at least one) it was there. But it was/is a corrected lens, however I suspect that it is not on par with Zeiss lenses of that focal length. I do plan on doing some tests to find out where and when the distortion takes place. If you do sell your lens I would interested in the price you get for it. It is such a rare one that I haven't found any kind of reference to monetary value.
...and very lovely photo, btw. Nice colors and composition! _________________ Cameras; Sony Nex5n Lenses; Konica Hexanons; 21mm f2.8, 40mm f1,8, 50mm f1.4, 50mmf1.7,57mm f1.4, 100mm f2.8, 135mm f3.2, 200mm f4, MC Helios 77M-4 50mm f1.8, Jupiter 8 50 f2, Super Takumar 85mm f1.9, Vivitar Series 1 90mm f2.5 (Macro), Steinheil Munchen Culminar 85mm f2.8, Steinheil Munchen Exagon 35mm f2.8, Jupiter 37A 135mm, Astra Berlin 135mm f3.5, Angenieux 180mm f4 , Tair 3-PhS 300mm f4.5 |

As a matter of fact, it's quite likely that I don't sell it. At least, not until SONY or whoever else brings us a mirrorless FF. I want to know whether this one would be usable (being an SLR lens) as opposed to the rangefinder lenses, which could have horrible colour shift. So I'll hang on to it for a while longer and we'll see…
As for the field curvature, I'm not saying it's a bad thing, necessarily, because for closer stuff it isolates the subject better. However, for landscape… well, it's not so nice. And I'm not talking about distorsion here, but that the focus plane is not, well, flat, but rather that it is bent. Check this out for a better definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petzval_field_curvature. Apologies if I'm stating something very obvious…
Oh, about the pic, thanks so much!

Yes, thanks for that. I think you're right. But I hadn't noticed on "landscape" shots, just on the straight up/down of a street light pole. So, it is there. I haven't used wide angles much so I'm not an expert on all the possible problems that I read that occur. I do like this lens, though. _________________ Cameras; Sony Nex5n Lenses; Konica Hexanons; 21mm f2.8, 40mm f1,8, 50mm f1.4, 50mmf1.7,57mm f1.4, 100mm f2.8, 135mm f3.2, 200mm f4, MC Helios 77M-4 50mm f1.8, Jupiter 8 50 f2, Super Takumar 85mm f1.9, Vivitar Series 1 90mm f2.5 (Macro), Steinheil Munchen Culminar 85mm f2.8, Steinheil Munchen Exagon 35mm f2.8, Jupiter 37A 135mm, Astra Berlin 135mm f3.5, Angenieux 180mm f4 , Tair 3-PhS 300mm f4.5 |

I said it was costly, I didnt say it wasnt worth the cost!
I feel the same way about my SMC Pentax-K 20/4 but it
only cost me $350. _________________ ===========

Nice Yacht.
I adore my copy of the earlier 4/21 Hexanon, it's great on NEX or film. I use it a lot on both, it's possibly my favourite lens to use on 35mm film.
