Title: FS: Zeiss C Sonnar T* 1.5 / 50 mm ZM Silver
Post by: Oliver Roch on July 04, 2012, 05:11:32 pm

The lens is originally owned by me, practically new, and only in my possession since I've bought it bundled with the Ikon camera. The 2.0/35 Biogon is more my focal length so it was hardly used.

Zeiss C Sonnar T * 1.5 / 50mm ZM Silver - Asking 800 EUR or best offer.

Appropriate, "as new" filters each 25 EUR:
B + W MRC 2x 46 022 medium yellow
B + W MRC 3x 46 023 dark yellow
B + W MRC 4x 46 040 yellow orange

Danny, sorry but i don't get it .. what do you mean with 'optimized to'? I am not aware of two different Zeiss C Sonnar T* 1.5 / 50 mm ZM Silver.

Oliver, this lens has a focus shift issue (it's Zeiss's fault). Zeiss does offer recalibration service for free but you need to sent it back to Zeiss: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/leica-m9-forum/212680-zeiss-50-1-5-zm-c.html

fyi, check the Focus Shift section: http://lavidaleica.com/content/zeiss-c-sonnar-t-1550-zm

OK. I bought the lens brand new and never had it readjusted by zeiss so i think it's factory setting is still f2.8.
