Manual focus normal lens for Contax/Yashica mount by Carl Zeiss. Older AEJ models have ninja star bokeh, newer MMJ models do not. You can tell the difference by looking at the largest aperture number. On newer MMJ models, this number will be green. Metal body available in black.
The Contax / Yashica mount was the result of a collaboration between Carl Zeiss and Yashica after the latter purchased the rights to the Contax name in 1975. The goal was to merge Zeiss’s excellent lens design with Yashica’s electronics and manufactering process within a single mount. This came only a few years after Leica began collaborating with Minolta.
Both Yashica and Contax would produce cameras and lenses for this new mount, with Yashica targeting consumers and Contax aiming at professionals. Contax SLRs were known for pushing the limits of electronics at the time, and for producing some of the best lenses Zeiss designers ever came up with.
