Contax 35mm f/2.0 Planar G Series Lens

The Contax 35mm f/2.0 Planar G is a legendary wide-angle prime designed for the Contax G series rangefinder cameras. Known for its outstanding sharpness, beautiful contrast, and signature Zeiss color rendering, this lens is a favorite among serious shooters and collectors alike. Compact, lightweight, and razor-sharp even wide open, it’s perfect for street photography, travel, and documentary work.

This particular lens features a unique internal defect—tiny, evenly distributed spots on one of the internal elements. While they don’t affect sharpness or autofocus operation, they may influence the appearance of bokeh, especially when shooting wide open against bright backgrounds.

Condition: Good (One-Off)

This lens is in good overall condition. Cosmetically, it shows normal signs of use—minor scuffs and handling wear on the barrel—but nothing that affects its mechanical integrity. The focus and aperture rings operate smoothly. The glass is clean and clear aside from the noted internal spots, which are evenly distributed and may cause subtle effects in out-of-focus areas (bokeh). No haze, fungus, or scratches otherwise.

Sold as a one-off due to this internal quirk—offering a unique rendering that might actually add character to your images. A rare chance to snag a high-end Contax G lens at a more accessible price.
