A used Carl Zeiss lens made for ASML

[kievuser]

Hi lens collecotrs

It is the 1st time I saw this big lens offered for sale. I have collected some lithographic lenses for making computer chips, but never this huge.

Perhaps someone is interested? It is offered for RMB 55,000 IIRC.

I heard that the lastest ASML machine could cost about 100 million euro, and the Zeiss made lens could cost about 40-50% of the total price. That must be one of the most expensive Zeiss lenses. Images are borrowed from the seller. The tiny Chinese lithographic lens made in 1970's is from my collection.

Cheers

Nice, I would buy it of course, yet the 90 degree light path makes it clumsy to attach a camera to it.
I see it already has atripod mount Looks like a 248nm version to me

Very tempting, but I am not an early adopter. I will wait until A99 sample images are available.

I will add a few more images FYI. What you saw already seems only part of the whole lens. Knowleadgeable collectors would know what generations of the ASML machine used it. I am sure this is not that latest 40-50 million euro version.

As much as I would like to own such a lens, it is too expensive, and I have too many lenses and not enough room.
But thank you very much for showing this!
