Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 5cm f2 T ser:31xx DIY E-6 Provia 100 Epson V500
one of the sharpest lens what I ever hold..

Lens even more interesting than camera very early post war made in 1945 I think , made from aluminium instead of brass. After war this was natural resource , not only this is interesting , Jena factory was stolen by Russians, so not made there for sure. In my theory probably made in Stuttgart just like camera , but before this factory made lenses with Opton label.

Truly stunning work, you really have nailed your e-6 work.

The lens is stunning too, sharpness, contrast, colours, and such a lot of dimensionality to the images, I must get one of these one day!

Agree, very impressed by that 3rd pic, what a lens!

I like the 4th one, too, infinity view down the lane, and great colors!

Have to say, your E-6 developing skills are topnotch!

Try some time, if chemical not overused and temperature is right, always come out nicely. I always develop 12 rolls in 1L developer and temperature is kept 38-39C with Jobo processor. I use Tetenal E-5 5L kit for 60 rolls so enough for 1-2 yrs at least or even longer. I suggest to you to buy one, Jobo is not a heavy equipment so even if you move it has place I think.

You have a pic of this Jobo outfit? Your results look better than what we pay for over here. Shocked

Yes it has electric heater with temperature control and big water buffer to keep temperature smoothly. Developer tank has magnet on bottom and an electric motor rotate tank into both way only in 500ml chemical you can develop 4 rolls at once. 2 rolls, 4 rolls and may more longer tanks are available and really big ones for paper and cut films.

Great work Atilla!! I love the POP in #3!Very Happy

Btw - how much did your developing kit cost you? I think trying to develop my own films will eventually become a necessity in the future.

5L kit Tetenal E-6 for 60 rolls 78 USD 1.3 USD/roll to me enough for 1-2 yrs. Lab price here 8 USD/roll + fuel cost have to drive 10-20 km in city to drop film wait 2 hrs and pick it up.
