Contarex 25mm f2.8 Distagon Black 3970343 – 1635581
This Contarex 25mm f2.8 Distagon Lens (Black), #3970343, is in great condition with minor handling wear. I rate it cosmetically a (9+). The focus ring is smooth, the aperture functions properly, and the glass is clean and clear with no haze, marks, or fungus. There are a few faint specks of dust inside, but they do not affect image quality. This lens includes a front cap, but no rear cap.

Maintenance Tips
- Gentle Cleaning: Use a blower or soft brush to remove dust. Clean lens elements with a microfiber cloth and lens-safe solution, applying minimal pressure to protect coatings.
- Avoid Scratches & Coating Damage: This lens has delicate coatings—do not use abrasive materials or excessive force when cleaning. Always store with front and rear caps on.
- Check for Smooth Focus & Aperture: Periodically turn the focus and aperture rings to keep them from stiffening due to inactivity.
- Prevent Fungus & Moisture Damage: Store in a dry, cool environment with silica gel packs to avoid fungus buildup on the glass and internal elements.
- Protect the Mount & Body: Handle carefully to prevent wear on the Contarex bayonet mount. If mounting feels tight or rough, inspect for dust or debris.
