Zeiss 45mm f/2.8 Tessar Pancake Prime Lens - Contax Yashica C/Y Mount READ

The Zeiss 45mm f/2.8 Tessar is a tiny "pancake" type lens renowned for its compact size, exceptional image quality, and classic rendering. This lens, designed for Contax Yashica C/Y mount cameras, is a fantastic choice for photographers who value portability and a distinctive aesthetic.  

This Tessar lens, a testament to Zeiss's optical expertise, delivers sharp images with excellent contrast and that signature Zeiss micro-contrast. Its 45mm focal length provides a natural perspective, making it ideal for a wide range of subjects, from street photography and landscapes to portraits and everyday shooting. The fast f/2.8 maximum aperture allows for shooting in low-light conditions and creates a beautiful shallow depth of field.  

Condition: ONE-OFF
This Zeiss 45mm f/2.8 Tessar lens is in good condition overall, but it has some fungus damage on the rear element. This fungus is not readily visible in normal viewing conditions and will not significantly affect image quality. However, it is important to note this imperfection. We have included a photo of the lens disassembled with a powerful flashlight shining on axis to show the damage, it is very difficult to see without doing this. The lens has been tested and is fully functional.

This compact and classic lens is ready to add a unique touch to your Contax Yashica C/Y mount camera. Don't miss out on this opportunity to own a piece of photographic history!
