Yousuf Abbasi Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) Hi All, I am selling my set of Zeiss Super Speeds T1.4 MKI (B Speeds). In pristine condition, mechanics are perfect and glass is scratch free. Freshly serviced and cosmetically upgraded by Duclos. I had not intended on ever selling this set, but we need the money. Price is $39,500. I've shot with all types of vintage primes (K35, Lomos, Super Baltars, SS MKII/III). The MKI SS are probably my favorite vintage lenses, with a flare and contrast quality that resembles films of the 70's/early 80's. To me, the nine-blade "Reuleaux Triangle" iris is magical, with bokeh that is reminiscent of Scorsese's "Taxi Driver" & many of Kubrick's films (Shining, Full Metal Jacket, Barry Lyndon). I've noticed these lenses are becoming rare, and I have yet to find a set in this condition. Here are the specs: - The lenses include 5 focal lengths (18, 25, 35, 50, 85). Imperial and metric scales (engravings are neon glow paint). - These are S35 format, not S16. Very close serial numbers. - Optics (all front and rear glass elements) are scratch free - Rotations are smooth and consistent across each lens (i.e. every lens has the same feel when you rotate the barrels, no loose threads). - Consistent gears and mechanics across each lens. All lenses have 80mm fronts, and Hard PL mounts (not PL adapters) - New Arriflex front and back caps - Cosmetically they are beautiful, better than any set I've seen. Service history at Duclos. Pictures attached, and can send many more via email. Edited May 6, 2020 by Yousuf Abbasi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
