Price Paid: $1000.00 from ebay

Summary:

This is another sharp and contrasty Zeiss lense that you should carry with you. The rating on the lense is not as high as other Contax 645 Zeiss lenses, but I am very happy with the quality. The pictures taken with this lense, even with the 1.4 extender look very sharp and have good color and contrast.

Strengths:

Sharp, good contrast and color, good solid construction

Weaknesses:

long and without tripod collar, only f4.

Long and front end weight on the camera.
