Prices Reduced for quick sale. I would like to sell the equipment at the earliest and am open to reasonable offers.



All Lenses are Canon EF Mount unless specified otherwise

All gear has been babied - minimal wear if any. Most of the lenses are practically new due to lack of use. Gear was used as a hobby and not professionally.

Comes with boxes and original accessories as noted below.

I offer a discount if you buy two or more items.

John....
I have a 17-35mm f2.8 N, 2 x 24-85mm f3.5-4.5 N, and 2 x 70-300mm f4-5.6 N. All include original Contax/Zeiss hoods (have spare original/new hoods for all three as well).

I have not decided to sell these yet or for how much. Since it is going to be very hard to find these and the prices will go up once the higher megapixel D-SLR's like the 1Ds Mk III arrive, I am trying hard to decide if I should keep them or let them go. The 17-35N and 24-85N really have no equal when it comes to resolution or colors/contrast.... among other things.

[crazeazn]

ty,

wow 2 of each, you are nuts! hahah. i'd like to buy that 50 but i dont think bo-ming supports 50 conversions yet.

Maybe nuts.... but once you use one (a good copy that is), it is really hard to go back to using the Canon L's. :)

Bo-ming does not support the 50 yet but expects to get the conversion done/available in the next 6-8 months. Once he does, the prices should go up more.... especially for a good copy.

[LWimages]

I didnt get any pm back from you for the 580EX

Bo-Ming is the guy who developed/designed the mount conversion from Contax/Zeiss N-Mount to Canon EF mount. Once he gets through all of them, it will let you use all the N-Mount and Contax 645 lenses on Canon EF mount bodies with full autofocus and auto-aperture.

The N-Mount and Contax 645 lenses are legendary Zeiss optics - around 3-4 times the resolving power of the typical Canon L lenses. They sold for ridiculously high prices when Contax/Zeiss was at their peak. These lenses have the superior micro-contrast and provide the typical Zeiss look with excellent resistance to flare, vignetting, etc. etc. Once Canon SLR's push the limits of resolution (some already have with the 1Ds Mk II and 1Ds Mk III), Canon lenses have a tough time holding up to the amazing detail the Zeiss lenses are capable of.

Search www.fredmiranda.com alternative forums for more information and sample images of what these lenses can do.
