The Ultimate Zeiss 21mm f/2.8 Distagon Collection
Up for sale is this entire Zeiss 21mm f/2.8 Distagon Collection. Included in the sale are the following items:

The Lens. Zeiss Distagon 21mm f/2.8 Distagon. Front Cap. Cameraquest CZ-->Canon Mount Adapter (http://www.cameraquest.com/frames/4saleReos.htm). Body cap.
Original Box, packaging, authenticity certificate, instructions, body cap, leather pouch
B+W 82mm Super Slim Circular Polarizing Filter, with cap and case
Zeiss 82mm --> 86mm Step-up Ring
CZ Metal Hood W-1
CZ 99mm Metal Lens Cap (for use with Metal Hood)
CZ 86mm Protection Filter, Box, Instructions, Leatherette Case
Everything in this collection is condition MINT. It's not new, of course. When I purchased this lens about a year ago, it was only used by one collecter, for testing purposes. You'd be hard pressed, to tell the difference between this lens, and a new model. If they even made a new model! The lens itself is free of scratches, dents, dings, or defects. The aperture ring works smoothly, as it did when new. The focusing is as smooth as butter. Everything functions as it would on a new copy of this lens.
The resolving power of this lens just can't be beat. It's without a doubt, the sharpest glass at this focal length you can find, anywhere. I have a short review of this lens, here (http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/1075248) with several crops showing the sharpness.
The lens itself:

This is to be sold as a collection. I will not break up the pieces at this time.
Price for the complete collection: $3,250.
Please remember, add up all the items: lens, cameraquest adapter, hoods, caps, filters. All the original packaging. I have researched recent sales, and I'll stand by my price. And yes, this is less than I paid for the complete set just over one year ago.
Terms of my sale: Cash, personal check, bank check. Items will ship when funds have cleared. Shipping is at buyer's expense, and will be trackable service (UPS or Fedex) and will be insured for the full amount. International buyers are welcome, you will pay any duties, taxes, import fees, etc.

Thanks for looking!
