What is special about a ZK lens?
Maybe the fact that it is relatively rare to find a genuine one.
Also, with the popularity of current Zeiss lenses, it is nice to have a "lens with history" that goes back to a transition time from Zeiss to FSU lenses.
You can find a cleaner lens for $250, but it will not be a ZK, most likely.
I have a very clean example of a ZK that I bought after some advice from Roland and Brian, so I don't want to buy this one:

I have nothing to do with this auction, so if you see any flaws, then by all means point them out here so that nobody buys it.

Did anyone here buy this lens?
Ron (Netherlands)
Well-known
I saw that one too. From the advertisement it seems it is still for sale.
I found the quality of the glasses too bad (as you know I am quite picky about the glass quality), so didn't buy it....
btw can you post a picture of yours, would be interesting to see one in beautiful condition

I will take some photos of my ZK in the evening, if time permits it, Ron.
