| Seller's Comment |
Please check the detailed condition of this genuine product below:
■ Cosmetics (Near Mint Condition / As Disclosed)
The lens exterior heavy-duty metal barrel is in overall highly beautiful, well-preserved shape. The original black finish retains its beautiful contrast texture, the knurled rubber focus grip is sharp and clean, and all engraved metrics remain perfectly vibrant and easy to read.
Rear Mount Mechanical Characteristic: As an authentic pre-owned vintage lens, the manual stop-down preview lever located on the rear metal mount is partially chipped/damaged. However, when mounted via a standard C/Y mirrorless adapter or used on compatible camera bodies, the main aperture control ring operates smoothly, allowing the diaphragm blades to open and close accurately without any functional sticking.
■ Optics (Top Mint Condition!)
The internal optical glass elements are in pristine, showroom-quality Top Mint condition!
Fungus / Haze / Scratches: Completely free of fungus, haze, severe cloudiness, separation, or any physical surface scratches on the coatings. The glass is exceptionally crystal clear, bright, and transparent.
Internal Dust: Features only a tiny, standard minimal amount of microscopic dust particles, which is completely normal for vintage lenses and has absolutely zero impact on image resolution, rendering contrast, or color performance.
■ Mechanics & Functions
Fully operational. The manual focus ring rotates beautifully, evenly, and precisely across the entire distance scale. The aperture ring adjustments click crisply at every stop, and the aperture blades are entirely clean, snappy, and free of any oil residue.
■ Included Items
Contax Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 28mm f/2.8 AEJ Lens (C/Y Mount)
Genuine Contax Front Lens Cap (Snap-On Type)
Rear Protective Mount Cap (Aftermarket / Non-Genuine as Disclosed)
(Everything shown in the actual product photos is included, fully intact.)
CRITICAL NOTE FOR SHOWROOM PERFECT SEEKERS:
This is a genuine pre-owned vintage manual focus lens that is decades old. As clearly disclosed above, the rear mount stop-down lever is partially chipped, and the rear cap is aftermarket. If you require absolute flawless factory-fresh showroom perfection on every mechanical lever, or if you are extremely particular, sensitive, or nervous about classic vintage equipment, we kindly but firmly ask that you refrain from purchasing. This rare item is best appreciated by active digital mirrorless photographers and creators who value pristine Top Mint glass optics, smooth focus mechanics, legendary T* multi-coating contrast, and the breathtaking wide-angle rendering performance of a 28mm Distagon prime over showroom mechanical specifications.
I have personally inspected and verified this genuine Contax Carl Zeiss manual focus wide lens package to ensure its quality meets the strict standards of HJ Camera. It will be packed with elite professional care and shipped promptly from Japan! |
