I've just finished a first draft of a spreadsheet for Contax N lenses - similar to the one for Contax C/Y and the Yashica Draft Lens List. It's available from my Drive account to view in Google Sheets, or you can download a copy for yourself to edit/add/modify for your own use. I didn't have matching data references for every one of the front caps, so for those that are missing and you know what they should be... please let me know and I'll add them. |

OK - found most of them: 24-85 K-81; 70-300 K-71; 50 1.4 K-61, 85 1.4 K-81, 17-35 K-91, 100 2.8 K-71. I'm sorry but I don't have the long telephoto.

Thanks, Graham! ... edited and added. I did manage to track down an ebay listing for a 400mm for sale that included the cap, hood, and case. They are all unique to the 400, and my guess is that they'll rarely be found separately. If they are, they might be really pricey. |

Glad to be of help. I'm afraid that the 400mm escaped my clutches so I don't have a cap to hand but given the lens has a 112mm filter, it may prove to be a K-112.

It's great that Zeiss still provides access to the vast majority of data sheets for legacy lenses to get data from, but the downside is that they have gaps in details that aren't geared to optical quality. The 400mm N lens is a good example, where there's no mention of the disk size of the filter tray inserts, or that there's a separate hood, or even what type of connection it uses.
The overall dimensions are there for the outside of the lens body, and for some odd reason, this one even gives the "48 to film" registration distance - but - nothing eludes to the 112mm front filter ring, or that it even has threads to accept the OEM front cap or standard screw-in filters. It's too bad they aren't more consistant with the 'everyday' details.
