Contax G 21mm is SOLD. i still have the Zeiss Flek 20mm available, at a great price OBO. thanks!

Zeiss Flekotogon 20mm f2.8 M42 mount Front and rear lens are perfect. some internal dust. Body is in good condition, but has seen normal use.

Normally i only buy lenses in mint or near mint condition, since I am not a Duclos level lens tech by any means. but this one is so legendary, i thought i might get around to it one day. Use it as a personal lens, or something.

Selling as lens group housing and for parts. Had previous fungus damage on the rear element. Internal dust Still has a Cooke image, but noticeably more lifted and soft looking due to the internal dust primarily. I did not want to open it to clean it. Certainly could be restored or used for parts, and as is it has a look. $850 OBO

Rear element is in perfect condition, not marks or scratches. Contacts look clean with no blemish, and no really mount wear either.

Front lens has always been protected by the UV filter, and is mint condition. (dust is on the UV filter only)

Contax G 21mm f2.8 Original front and rear caps

Contax G 21mm f2.8 exterior: near mint, minor scuffs from normal use

Contax G 21mm f2.8 In mint condition. $300 for quick sale. We can figure out shipping, most of continental US will likely be free. These convert to Leica M mount, and can be used on digital cameras. So save on not having the viewfinder as an added expense. However, if later on you decide you want a viewfinder, they are $89 on ebay and the total price for the setup is still below average. I was going to build a few sets, but once Zendaya and Tom Holland were seen using the Contax G system, prices sort of climb just a bit out of our range. They are stunning lenses, with a "best of both worlds" vintage-meets-modern look. Perhaps this Contax is a little more of a photo lens, so if you prefer vintage... Zeiss Flektogon 20mm f2.8 This "flek" is pretty well known by now, and prices for good condition seem to be stable above $500+ so, this one should go fast. It has a nice "standard speed" look on S35, and a sort of seni-swirly vintage look on FF35. *m42 screw mount, can be converted to PL for additional cost, just ask $450 priced for quick sale Like most of the lenses i am selling, they were meant to be part of a rehousing project, but i never finished buying the rest of the lenses. All of the lenses i buy are mint condition, and chosen for their aesthetic qualities. We're absolutely passionate about lenses, so do not hesitate to reach out and ask questions. Thanks!

Reach out with an offer. thanks!

Have not had anyone even ask about this lens. So, i'll just make one last bump here. and will remove it from sale in the coming weeks. Happy holidays.

New price.

Also, seeing the cineovision high speeds are 1.6 aperture, it could make a potential addition to those sets, right between the 50mm and 85mm

Any test shots you are interested in seeing?

Given this covers FF35, it could be a great vintage large format lens. Great for Ultra Baltar and other exceptionally rare vintage cine sets. Bokeh is exceptional, and sharpness is awesome for a high speed.

Up for sale is a perfect condition Schneider Cine Xenon 60mm F1.6 in Arriflex mount. Covers Full Frame, and would make a good compliment to a super Baltar set. Surprisingly sharp wide open. Ready for rehouse, glass is perfect. open to offers. Asking price is currently on Ebay here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/394923421646?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=dgGKrBTaRqq&sssrc=2051273&ssuid=dgGKrBTaRqq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I've got an MK1 version of the lens, that can be PL modded. If you need something fast, it might be good until you can find the MK2. let me know, we can chat.

SOLD thank you for everyone interested.

Leonardo was looking for 2-perf, and Jackie wanted video footage of the camera running. Neither replied to my replies. Camera is currently in Burbank Area. I can arrange a local demo. If you are on the East cost, i can fly the camera out here, as long as you don’t have a deadline you’re trying to meet. I feel film makers are constantly buying gear for their next gig, but i try to tell people don’t buy used gear just before a gig. Most people don’t ship in a timely manner, and secondly, you want to test used gear before a job. So, this is hopefully going to someone who needs a long term 35mm cinema camera for testing lenses and film stocks, and perhaps doing broll or music videos with. obviously the industry has moved one to silent cameras. Which, i may be able to work with the buyer on building a sound blimp for the camera. but otherwise you have to do like Kubrick or Tarantino and dub it for feature work. Thanks for reading.
