WTB: Zeiss (Contax) f2.8 100mm Macro Planar

It seems that the world supply has dried up ( or at maybe someone is hording
them?) if you have one to sell, let me know condition and price.

This is an interesting post, as the responder clearly wass trying to off
load his non macro lens which the asker was looking for. The funny thing
is that neither of you state which mount is involved. I can assume that
such a rare lens came only in a 39mm Leica or 42mm Pentax screw mount?

I was assuming that it would be the Contax/Yashica SLR mount.

Just goes to show ... it's the details that count
