Zeiss Contax 28mm 2.0, Asking price 950.00

This is one of my favorite lenses...the famed "Hollywood", because of its cinema-inspired design. Has a floating element that gives it great close focusing ability....and an amazing, pebbly bokeh. GREAT for fashion and wide-angle portraits.

Just sayin'

Zeiss Contax are my favorite lens, i was trying to convert to PL but some reason the optician couldn't do it. He said the mechanism for controlling the f-stop is different then other lens. When he tried to put his own design and he just got 10 degree movement for f-stops which is not enough.

Sorry it is 20-100, i have to change my signature. I shot i short movie on this, i really like it and got to on ebay on a very cheap price. No one will believe how much i paid for this lens. After receiving sent to Cooke for service and they said it is as good as new. Last month i sent this to for my rental house in NEPAL.
Here is my Facebook page in Nepal for RED rental

Why don't you just use the All Star mount? Their adapters allow you to use Contax Lenses essentially like PL glass...within a system that accepts PL mount, Oct-19 and other mounts seamlessly. Its pretty cool.

Or you can just get a C/Y adapter and use them on the EOS mount on Scarlet/Epic.

For whatever it's worth...

Nick, you should get to know Omkar. Living so close and sharing a love for Contax lenses you have so much in common . . .

You make a good point...Omkar, me and Ryan de Franco should all hang! I can introduce them to all my other Contax nut job friends in the city (another 4 dudes).

That being said...looks like Im shooting with Leica R's this weekend...secretly kinda stoked.

Hi Nick, Yes i had the Allstar mount for may RED for a long time. Actually i was one of the first buyer Allstar mount, i had the all-star mount even before RED approved it. Since i bought the all PL lenses i am trying to stay on PL only. All of my camera are in Nepal and busy feature shoot, so i felt it is a wise decision to stay PL.
JOSH i like the idea.
