Carl Zeiss Jena electric MC Flektogon 20/2.8 M42

… red MC version …

I can sell this lens, if anyone interested. It's in really used condition, not mint, but =WORKS WELL= Laughing There's only a few minor cleaning marks, but they are really tiny and scarce, so I can garrant, that contrast will NOT be affected.

COSMETICS: The lens is really well-worned, there are visible scratches on the body and paint-loss (please check the pictures carefully). There is also a small ding on filter ring. I have not filter of this diameter, so I can't test, if the lens accept filters.

MECHANICS: Focusing is smooth and doesn't sound dry. Aperture is snappy, works in auto and manual mode till f/22 without problems.

OPTICS: No fungus, haze or scratches. Few minor cleaning marks, which won't affect contrast. Few dust particles (less than on pictures - majority of them are on front element and I forgot to blow them out before taking the pictures)



price: Last MC 20/2.8 went for $400 on ebay, but it was in better condition, so I think €190 is quite fair price.

Shipping depends on destination. Payment via PayPal (+3%), MoneyBookers (1%) or IBAN transfer (buyer covers all expenses)

Here are some samples taken by this lens today.

Contrast in hard backlight:



As you can see on the RAW converter screenshot, NO contrast (or other boost) was added to these backlight pictures. No improper flares are visible on the shots. Optical performance is not affected.

Other samples taken at f/11:
