Where to get Zeiss Proxar set

I bought my Zeiss Ikon Proxar set from eBay last year for $20, including a plastic case.(What is the current pricing, I have no idea ). The four Proxar lenses are coated. Very clean.

Initially it was meant for my Zeiss Ikon Contaflex SLR, but now I use it more for my Minox EC and Minox C !

I have an EC and a set of 49mm close-up lenses (+1, +2, +4) that I use with my SLR. Do you know what the equivalence is between the Proxars and the close-ups? For example, might a +4 be the equivalent of a 200mm or 500mm Proxar? Assuming I could tape a lens in place, how would you handle parallax error with the EC? Arnie

Other close up lens can be use too.

• +1 = 100 cm
• +2 = 50 cm
• +4 = 25 cm etc.

  You can use the Proxar table as a guide; but you need to test and adjust the distance yourself, because the distance of close up lens to the front of EC is different from one make to another.
