For sale is a legendary lens, the S-Planar 120mm f/5.6 by Carl Zeiss. This lens fits the Rollei SLX and 6000 series SLR cameras.

Asking $695 net.

The camera optics are clear, clean, and have no scratches. There may be the odd dust speck within the lens (as is to be expected), but nothing that affects the IQ. The barrel shows some ware, but nothing that affects IQ. The aperture ring is tight and the focusing is very smooth.

This lens is renowned for its super sharp optics throughout, from the center to the edges at all apertures. There is also almost no distortion, as it renders a flat field across the frame. Lastly, the bokeh and colors are superb.

    Shot with one of these years ago and recall being shocked (pleasantly) at how well it performed even wide open.

    If I still shot medium format it would be worth acquiring a body just to shoot with this lens!

    GLWS!

    Totally. These are fabulous performers. With bodies selling in the 400-600 range, I agree!
