I am selling a set of 5 Zeiss Opton Highspeed lenses T1.4. Focal lengths are 18, 25, 35 , 50, 85mm. They are Mark I and were originally ARRI bajonet, now fitted with PL mounts. The PL mounts come from Chrosziel and are stainless steel CNC machined. All lenses are in excellent condition, only the 85mm has slight cleaning marks in the coating. Glass is clean on all lenses. Mechanics are smooth and work beautiful. Focus gears are originally ARRI. Three of them are brandnew. I doubt there will be a cleaner set of Mark I around.
Lenses are sold.
For those who don´t know what Opton stands for. The former GDR was not allowed to buy Zeiss Oberkochen in FRG. So Zeiss renamed the Highspeed lenses to Opton Oberkochen and exported them to Sweden. From there they were imported into the GDR. You can still see that for instance the Distagon was becoming Di. To make it short: Opton IS Zeiss.
The lenses come in a sturdy flightcase. If you are interested PM me or send a mail to ravefilm(at)t-online.de. I have more pictures ready which show details of front and back of all lenses and the case. Lenses are in Germany.
