I've been into Contax/Yashica since 1980. I used the predecessor to the 167MT, the 159MM, bought it new in 1985 and recently just retired it. Replaced the 159MM with the Aria last week, great camera and a joy to use. I also love that Zeiss 28mm F 2.8, it's been my most used Carl Zeiss lens over the years. My Zeiss 85mm F1.4 has on it "Made in West Germany." I guess I'm a life long Contax and Zeiss fan. Cheers!
Hello, I am looking for new optics for my Contax 167MT. I am interested in Zeiss optics. Can I mount Zeiss optics which doesnt have a t* on them? Thank you
It has to be so called c/y lens mount lens, which stands for Contax/Yashica mount. I do think all of the ones made with that mount have the newer T* coating. T* is only a type of coating on the lenses. Hope that helps.
