For Sale - Pentacon F with a Biotar lens and original: lens hood, green filter, and cases for filter, hood and camera.<br><br>The Pentacon F circa 1957 is not to be confused with the Pentax lenses of the 1970's this is actually a export model of the far superior Contax F body with the original sought after Carl Zeiss Biotar 58mm f2 lens complete with original lens hood, zeiss green filter, lens hood case, filter case and the original camera case.<br><br>Details on this camera can be found here: http://www.earlyphotography.co.uk/site/entry_C514.html <br><br>Manufactured by VEBZeiss Icon in the GDR<br><br>I purchased this in a job lot with the intention of keeping the lens only for my DSLR, but when I realised the rarity of body and what good and complete condition it was in, I felt bad breaking it up. This is a collectors piece and should really be kept together so I am offering it all complete in the first instance.<br><br>Please see the picture of the items the camera has the original case and is in complete working condition with an additional lens hood in case and filter case on the strap. Included also is the original Carl Zeiss Biotar lens (semi automatic version).<br><br><u><b>Condition</b></u> <br><br>Lens is in very good condtion both optically and functionally. <br><br>The focus ring turns smoothly although is stiffer than typical but I suspect this is due to lack of use.<br>Aperture works well the blades move freely and all apertures are selectable <b><i>BUT note on Biotars you need to first push in the aperture ring then turn to select apertures.</i></b><br><br>Optics - are clear with no fungus, very little dust and no hazing there is what appears to be tiny spots where the coating has flaked off the rear element, but this can't be photographed and is only viewable under direct light, it doesn't effect the images taken and appears to be common with Biotar's due to age. <br><br>The camera body is in very good condition with light wear to the leather above the lens but for its age is in excellent condition. I haven't put a film through it but, the shutter and mirror functions correctely. <br><br>The tan leather case is also in remarkable condition for age with only a couple of scuffs to the rear and base, strap is complete and the lens hood case is also very good.<br><br>The final photograph was taken with the Biotar lens on my Canon 60D at 2.8 to demonstrate the&nbsp; lens.<br><br>This item is a collectors item, in over 10 years of collecting M42 lenses, I have never before seen a Contax/Pentacon camera nor a Biotar lens hood this collection is very rare. <br><br>Any questions please ask.<br><br>UK postage only I'm afraid or collection from Gedling NG4 or Nottingham City Centre NG1<br>
