Zeiss Hologon 16mm f8 Lens. Leica M Mount. Mint-. Rare. $1,995
Virtually distortion free wide angle. Works great on M2, M3, M4, M6, M7, M8
This 16mm Hologon is in absolutely beautiful condition. The m mount fits nice and snug, no play like I have seen in some other examples. I have used this lens on both my M8 and my M7 with excellent results. Lens has had very little use, on and off the cameras under 10 times.
Included in this auction:
- Lens with M Mount (converter from Contax G Mount). Mint-
- Custom ND filter for lens. Mint
- Original Contax Lens Cap. Mint
- Hotshoe Mounted 16mm Viewfinder with Bubble Levels. Mint
- Special lens case specifically for this lens. Mint-
- Silk (I believe) original protective sleeves for the Viewfinder and ND Filter. Mint
This is the nicest Hologon conversion I have run across and it is sure to bring the buyer many years of terrific service. It really looks like it just came in from the factory, it is that clean.
A couple quick points so you have an accurate evaluation of this lens:
1. I used some rather harsh light for these pictures so they actually are pulling up what appears to be chrome edges, in reality they are reflections from the underlying lens construction.
2. Tiny mark on front element at the 2 o'clock position in the first picture. Until I took these photos I had never even noticed it on that incredible front glass. It is there however, a little scratch in the coating about .5mm or so. Absolutely does not effect the performance in any way.
Please let me know if you have any questions and thanks for looking! Should you decide to buy this lens you won't be disappointed.
