| 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. As an authentic pre-owned vintage prime lens, the outer body features standard minor superficial cosmetic scuffs and light handling marks from regular prior use. However, there are no deep structural dents, severe cracks, or heavy mechanical damages. The original black finish retains its beautiful contrast texture, the knurled rubber focus grip is sharp and clean, the mount tracks are immaculate, and all engraved metrics remain perfectly vibrant and easy to read.
■ Optics (Near Mint+ Condition / Exceptionally Clean!)
The internal optical glass elements are remarkably clear, bright, and highly transparent overall!
Fungus / Haze / Scratches: Completely free of fungus, haze, severe cloudiness, separation, or any physical surface scratches on the coatings. The view through the glass is exceptionally crystal clear and beautiful.
Internal Dust: As an authentic classic vintage manual focus lens, there is a standard minor amount of microscopic dust particles inside the optical segments under direct light inspection. This is completely normal and common for gear of this generation. It is entirely invisible under standard shooting conditions and has absolutely zero impact on image resolution, rendering contrast, or color performance.
■ Mechanics & Functions
Perfect. Every single component functions precisely as engineered. The manual focus ring rotates beautifully, evenly, and precisely across the entire range with ideal weighted tactile resistance. The aperture ring adjustments are crisp and precise at every stop, and the aperture blades are entirely clean, snappy, and free of any oil residue.

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 outer metal barrel features normal minor superficial handling scuffs, and the optical elements contain standard minor micro-dust under direct light inspection. If you require absolute flawless factory-fresh showroom perfection on every physical aspect, 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 photographers and serious creators who value smooth mechanical operation, excellent build utility, pristine glass clarity, legendary T* multi-coating contrast, and the high practical rendering performance of a Distagon 28mm wide prime over showroom 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! |
