Contax 100mm-300mm Lens Specifications*
Surprisingly compact, great color reproduction, saturation and superior sharpness compared to other manufactures of this class. This super-telephoto zoom contains three ultra-low dispersion elements to correct chromatic aberrations at all focal lengths. One-touch focusing and zooming. Slightly slow, especially for the price ($1700) but that's Zeiss for you. They did improve their mount design for this lens.
