Used Contax Zeiss Plannar 85mm f/1.4 | Black | U9

The Contax Carl Zeiss Planar T 85mm f/1.4* is a legendary, manual-focus vintage portrait lens originally designed for Contax/Yashica (C/Y) mount film cameras. Celebrated for its unique "3D pop" rendering, the lens utilizes a fast f/1.4 aperture and T anti-reflective coating* to deliver striking subject separation and vibrant color saturation. Its premium all-metal construction makes it durable but heavy, weighing approximately 595 grams with a long, mechanically precise focus throw. The lens is available in older AE and newer MM variants, which differ primarily in the shape of their bokeh when the aperture is slightly closed. Today, it remains highly sought after by portrait photographers and cinematographers who adapt it to modern mirrorless cameras for a distinct, cinematic look.
