Post by: dabreeze on December 19, 2005, 07:33:23 pm
anybody here know of a reputable, mail order dealer for contax zeiss lenses. specifically i'm looking for the vario sonnar 35-70mm f/3.4 but most ny online camera houses that list zeiss inventory have consumer ratings so lousy as to scare me away. i've dealt once with a questionable brooklyn camera warehouse and swore never again!  i've got to find someone better! please help . . .

I've never had a problem with B&H and Adorama.

All Contax sales have ended as of this month, and most if the C/Y lens have not been sold for some months now.  It is unlikey that you will find a new copy of a Contax Zeiss lens.  Unless it is a well known and reputable store like B&H or Adorama, I would be careful about trying to order one.  I would start looking for second hand examples.  Try keh.com.
