Biogon 28/2.8 on ebay - BEWARE! ACHTUNG!

[Hari]

Hey all,

A few days ago I bought a Biogon on ebay from a seller in Austria and had to return it because the aperture would start at 11 instead of 2.8 and end somewhere at the middle of nowhere

Of course, the focus was totally stuck

In the end the lens was unusable without repairs so I sent it back and thankfully got a full refund - shipping cost included

Here's a few shots of it so if you come across it on ebay, you know what to expect

Cheers,
Hari

The lens was not faulty.
All the lenses for the Contax G rangefinder are set like this when they are not mounted on the camera.
After you mount them on the camera, everything becomes normal.
