Re: For sale - legendary Carl Zeiss Jena Apochromat 60/1,40 HI
It's a fantastic lens.
I'm actually using mine with Olympus SB objectives on my Vanox AH with a 3mm extender. It's quite a lucky coincidence that they match: the CZJ is 33.65mm parfocal with a pickup point 13mm down the tube, while Olympus SB is 36.65mm parfocal with a pickup point 16mm down the tube. The 3mm extender + a thin plastic shim makes it perfectly parfocal with the Olympus objectives. I did need to turn it down a little bit to fit inside the extender. But it was worth it. Great DIC with the 40x prism, and super crisp and bright.

Totally crazy that no-one has bought this from you!

It also was in eBay for some time and had like 3 watching and one (denied) 70$ offer. I really hope it was a joke.viktor j nilsson wrote: ↑Wed Mar 30, 2022 6:23 pmTotally crazy that no-one has bought this from you!

I would rather buy it stuck and repair myself, as it is cheaper that way. But a lot of people won't...
Re: For sale - legendary Carl Zeiss Jena Apochromat 60/1,40 HI
I'm too anxious to try to unstuck it myself ![Embarrassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)

Re: For sale - legendary Carl Zeiss Jena Apochromat 60/1,40 HI
Sadly with the prices spiralling out of control (UK petrol at £8.00 per gallon), very few people have money to spare. That $70 offer might become the norm in the coming years, as I see no end to yhe present economic downturn...indeed it is likely to worsten, inthe UK at least.
