This is an exceptional lens in many respects
Contarex was a special devision of Zeiss known to make the best of the best.
Zeiss was already superior but the Contarex series lenses was something special
To get an 85mm 1.4 in this condition, complete is spectacular
I have seen these lenses for well over $8000 ( most of the time not in this condition and most of the time surely without with hood ) but to find one with case, caps and the best part is the SHADE. The shade is probably more rare than the lens itself
A GEM set
I can not stress the beauty and rarity
A must have for any collector or enthusiast
THE 85mm 1.4 T* CONTAREX SET to have.
Complemte and MINT!
