I just received this lens today, quite cheap (55€ incl. shipping on eBay), and it's really in mint/near mint condition! I really like the sharpness (it's sharp even at f/1.7!) and the bokeh. Hopefully i'll make some photos outside tomorrow and I'll post them  I want to see the colours too |

You will not be disappointed. It's an excellent lens, that goes often strangely ignored.

Congratulations! It is always such a nice thing to wait for a "new" lens, isn't it?
And when you finally hold it in your hands... great!

Nice colours, contrast, sharpness

Good contrast, no distortions
Faithful colours (canon lenses are slightly warm, on the other hand)
Excellent resolution, no CA:

Yes, beautiful.
The shot I like more is the colour one of the building seen through the fence.
The building is so "airy" it's unbelievable.
That's what I love with the Contax lenses, they surprise you even from the most boring shot. also sometimes they don't. They're sort of unpredictable, UNTIL, you REALLY start to know them... and then, you master them.
Each contax lens has it's own personality at every stop... I'm not kidding. I know precisely now which aperture I have to use on my Distagon 28 to get the most 3D effect... and I know, that half stop more or less, it will be different.
You really have to get to know your Contax lens inside out, and learn what each stop can give you in terms of performance.
That's what makes them unique - they have a temper.
Careful! You'll get addicted. It happened to me. I started with the Planar 1.4/50 and I could never stop. Watch your wallet very well.

I know this "addicted" feeling when I am looking for the best lens of M42 Now I prefer to shot and go around. But you think I can really stop shopping after buying one of Planar 85/1.4?
