I sell my Biometar 2.8/120 zebra version, built in February 1967.

THe lens looks quite worn in the looks, but no physical damage. The glasses are clear and free from scratches and from marks. The mechanical parts are in perfect working order. The 8 blades are clean.
Price 90 Eur

Orio,
There's a mistake in the ad.
You say this is a 2.8/120 and then a 2.8/180. Wink

Is this a P6 mount ?

I found your farm topic but pics are no more available.
Could you post here some pics taken with it ?

Cheers

It's a 120 what I am selling , thanks for pointing out the typo, I will correct it.

I'm afraid I don't have much samples at hand taken with this lens. I will take some good ones tomorrow if I can. For now I only have some quick ones I put together this afternoon in my studio, which I will post in a few minutes.

Here's some very "homemade" samples Laughing sorry, very boring subjects and only bokeh test really (only thing I could do)

OK, thanks to the date in the thread I've been able to trace back the original photo. Here's a 1024 px resize:



and here's a link to the full size 4368 px image (taken with old 5D):
