<p><a href="/photodb/user?user_id=541403">John Seaman</a> thank you for the info but why would it happen on a Zeiss lens. </p>

<p>Thank you all. </p>

<p>I also have a reply from the seller I am not sure what he means: "Hello, this lens is one old german lens, this is vernish became old, this is nothing no problem for use, this is common of old german lens." I think he meant varnish. He is from France so the translation could be all wrong. </p>

<p><a href="/photodb/user?user_id=8506799">John Burton</a> thank you. You see why I hesitate, it is a nice piece of glass so to speak. <br />Maybe anyone knows of another forum that I could post the question to? </p>

<p>I found a different example of the same lens. Mine problem looks similar but is deeper in the lens. <br />Here is a photo I found:</p> <p>https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8oyg1TMd8kDeXUzWTRwWXVGLUU/view?usp=sharing</p>

<p><a href="/photodb/user?user_id=282122">Q.G. de Bakker</a> it is inside the lens not on top of the glass. It looks like it is where the second glass element is touching the inner part (metal part) of the lens just at the rim. Like if you had a piece of glass and scratched it just at the rim.</p> <p><a href="/photodb/user?user_id=831118">Bela Laszlo Molnar</a> I might do that but if this is something that is not major I would love to keep the lens as it is a good one. </p>

<p>Hello everyone. <br> <br />Recently I purchased a lens on eBay. The person (camera shop) who sold the lens described it as without any fungus or haze. Once it arrived I noticed something which looks to me but I am not a specialist like a part of inner lens (just below the first element) has been scratched on the edge which seems unrealistic. So now am thinking what this may be. Unfortunately I can't check now if the issue has any impact on the photos as I sold my camera a week ago and I am moving to a different system. <br />I can return the lens and I have few more days to test it out but I want your professional opinion what this may be.<br /><br />As you will notice on my horrible photos that the issue has some sort of a colour gradient which looks like a rainbow, maybe it is the coating? The lens is Zeiss 28mm f2 and I don't really want to return it as I got a pretty good price but maybe I should?<br /><br />Please help.</p> <p>Photos:<br> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8oyg1TMd8kDS1U3X3piV0lpM0U/view?usp=sharing<br> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8oyg1TMd8kDQnVGa1JQSWhsUmc/view?usp=sharing<br> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8oyg1TMd8kDVW5ReVR6SXJsX0E/view?usp=sharing</p> <p>Thank you.</p>

<p>Beautiful shot Ian. I will have a look closer at that lens. Which adapter are you using? </p>

<p>Thank you all for your responses. </p>

<p>Thank you for your responses. I really appreciate that.<br> How about Contax Zeiss Distagon T* 35mm f2.8? </p>

<p>Hello everyone. <br> I have a question regarding 35mm lenses. <br />If there is a post about that please forgive me but I couldn't find it.<br> I am looking for a small 35mm lens for the a7s camera.<br />Nothing like Sigma 35mm 1.4, too big.<br />Sonnar T* FE 35mm F2.8 is the maximum size.<br> Can you name your choices if:<br />1. price was no issue, MF or AF, small, aperture max 2.8<br />2. price was an issue - max 700USD, MF or AF, small, aperture max 2.8 <br> <br />Thank you.</p> <p> </p>
