just to clarify: the seller mentions CONTAX in the auction title, but says SCREW MOUNT in the description.

as far as my knowledge goes (and I had a later MC one and paid it 80 eur), post war Carl Zeiss Jena didn't make anything in Contax mount. These Zebra sonnars 180/2.8 are most likely from the sixties or seventies and should be in Pentacon Six mount with P6->M42 adapter included. I think that 100$ may be a steep price for an apparently beaten copy. I think it is wiser to seek multicoated black versions with 4 or 5 digit serial numbers from the late eighties.

This seems to be the going rate at the moment, I have seen them sell for anything from $80-300 on ebay.

I want one also !

The first camera to use M42 mount was Contax S in 1949, see e.g. http://www.camerapedia.org/wiki/Contax_S. Then came Contax D. All this was way before Yashica/Contax.

I have all variant from CZJ Sonnar 180mm f2.8 lenses I rate higher this lens than black MC version. Don't hesitate just grab it if really want.

It's P6 mount for sure.
If it keeps this price would be an excellent catch.
