I'm selling my beloved Contax 28mm F2 (Hollywood) rehoused by G.L. Optics. Currently located in Japan.
It is an EF mount, covers 8k and fits perfectly Raven, Scarlet-w, Weapon...
Some details about this lens:
As somebody on Reduser mentionned before If you already know about this lens there's nothing more to say. If you don't know, it's quite a legendary lens amongst the Zeiss Contax set. Please check Nick's incredile thread for details: http://www.reduser.net/forum/showth...rvival-Guide&p=1491766&viewfull=1#post1491766
In a nut shell, Allegedly borrowing the floating element design from the 28mm T2 Standard Prime, this full frame derivant is NOT the same lens, but nonetheless a standout. It's close-focusing (almost macro quality), nervy/gorgeous bokeh, and spectacular performance stopped down make it tremendous addition to the arsenal.
This model is from a first generation of modified Contax lenses by GL Optics, when they only took custom orders.
They don't do the modification for the 28mm f2 anymore, so this lens is pretty rare and almost impossible to come by outside a full Set from the same generation.

- Smooth iris
- Original 120 degree focus rotation
- 95mm diameter of front Lens ring
- 6063 alumium rehoused Lens body
- stainless steel EF mount
- 0.8 module Gears
- Metric markings
- Step-up ring to allow 77mm filters provided
The lens is in good optical condition, cosmetically it has a couple of dust particles and shows the classic Zeiss discoloration in the front edges, which doesn't affect the image.
It is 100% functional, but has a 1 mm play in the re-house focus gear, and although it never created a problem when using a follow focus, you can slightly feel it by hand. GL Optics can fix that , but it never actually was a problem for me so I didn't get to send it.
As much as i love this lens, I will be hooked on a long documentary until the end of the year and would rather use the cash on the new Weapon EVF.
Overall, a trully great piece of glass, in a rare and high quality cine-moded version.
This sold for 3500-4000 USD at the time, now good luck to find one.
SOLD, thank you !
