135mm F2 (60 Year Edition)

Released in 1992, to mark the 60th anniversary of the Contax brand, this very rare collector's piece is an extremely well made MM version of the original Contax 135mm F2 Planar T* lens. Compact and high performance, this is the ideal lens for the 35mm format for all applications where its high speed is advantageous. Measured from the front lens vertex to the image plane, it is only 7% longer than the focal length. The distance between the exit pupil and the back focal point is only 50% of the focal length. This guarantees good illumination of the finder are while the focusing screen used for the standard focal length of the reflex camera is retained. Iconic and practical, this piece of Contax and Carl Zeiss history offers stunning quality.
