This listing is for a rare vintage Contax Carl Zeiss Planar 100mm f/2 T* AEG manual focus portrait lens (Contax/Yashica C/Y mount, made in West Germany). Please note that this item is being sold strictly FOR PARTS OR REPAIR. The front optical element (the front lens block/housing) is completely missing. It is a stripped-down barrel shell with remaining internal parts. The rest of the optical glass inside and at the rear is in excellent condition with no fungus or deep scratches. This item is an ideal donor for repair shops or restoration projects.
Condition:
For parts or not working. The front lens element is entirely missing. There are visible oil traces and signs of oxidation/corrosion on the aperture blades, meaning the aperture mechanism will require professional cleaning and degreasing if you intend to reuse it. On the positive side, the mechanics are in excellent condition. The focusing ring operates smoothly, the built-in extendable hood moves properly, and the barrel geometry is intact. The remaining internal and rear glass elements are in excellent shape.
