Hi y'all, long time no see.

With the switch from a 5Dmk2 to a Sony A7R, I purchased the CV 35/1.2 and so no longer use this gem of a lens. I'm also in a financial crisis. lest I'd keep this around for old time's sake. Alas.

It's not a perfect copy; some scuffs on the barrel, and hairline wipe marks on the front and rear elements, but no fungus, etc. that will impact the image in any major way.

I'd rate the cosmetics at 8.5/10, optics at 8.5/10, and mechanics at 9.5/10. Comes with original front and rear caps, and I'll throw in a cheapo CY-EF adapter.

$750OBO plus shipping and Paypal fees. Photos coming later.

Do you have any pictures of the lens?

YES I DO.

And because of an internal scratch I found (near the edge so should have minimal, if any, impact), I'm lowering the price to $650






OK here are the pics.



Here is the rear element, it's a rub mark about 7mm to a side. Not deep, and difficult to see unless at the right angle.



Here's something I'd forgotten was there and so failed to mention; it's actually a decent "scratch" on the edge of an internal element (probably the front lens of the second group). It probably got there during a previous CLA session; not by me, I did not have the balls (or the need, really) to open up this lens. It's on the edge so I can't see it having any impact, but since it is something I failed to note, I'm willing to take off $50 from my asking price. $650



Here are two hairline wipe marks. Again hard to see and very hard to photograph, and will have minimal to no impact on the image. There may be another one or two, but consider these the most apparent.




Some cosmetics shots. Minor scuffs as reported, but nothing glaring.[/QUOTE]

Just FYI, this lens is now $650. And to reiterate, the "scratch" on the internal lens is *really* right at the edge and will most definitely not affect the image at all. Here is another, better shot of it; notice that the scratch (red arrow) is immediately next to the edge of the retaining ring (blue arrow) that is holding it in place.
