Contax ZEISS Planar T* 45mm f/2.0 AF Black Lens G Mount

The Contax Zeiss Planar T 45mm f/2* is widely regarded as one of the sharpest lenses ever made — not just for the Contax G system, but in the entire history of 35mm photography. Its legendary Zeiss Planar optical design produces images with exquisite microcontrast, rich tonal depth, and that signature Zeiss “pop” that separates subject from background beautifully.

Designed for the Contax G1 and G2 autofocus rangefinder systems, this 45mm offers an ideal “normal” focal length with stunning clarity from corner to corner, even wide open. It’s compact, precise, and built to a level of mechanical perfection rarely seen today.

Condition: MINT

This lens is in mint condition with virtually no signs of prior use. The glass is flawless — no haze, fungus, or scratches — and the autofocus operates smoothly and accurately. The barrel and mount are pristine, and the T* coatings are vibrant and unmarred. A truly collector-grade example of a world-class lens.

An essential lens for any Contax G shooter or Zeiss enthusiast looking for optical perfection in a compact form.
