I got up wayyy tooo early this morning to bid on a 2.8cm f/8 Tessar, Contax RF mount. I'm not sure that I am the winner, but I was the high bidder! 😀

Joe,
Alright! Have fun with the new (and cheap) toys for the Canon when they arrive ~ ' - )

 

[Doug]

Joe you clearly had some fun today!

Doug2 that sounds like an interesting lens! With an f/8 max aperture it probably doesn't even need a focusing helix, having DoF from here to there anyway? What about a finder?

 

[Honu-Hugger]

Doug,
You are absolutely correct regarding the DOF and the focus adjustment is not coupled to the RF (I may have to include a disclaimer if I submit any shots taken with it to the gallery😉).

As for the viewfinder: lost one on eBay that went for more than $200 😱 (+-$125.00 was expected) -- I posted on another thread that it seems as though there has been an increase in the cost of Contax gear lately...just have to keep watching to know for sure.

"it seems as though there has been an increase in the cost of Contax gear lately" -Is it because of me?🙁
