This Travenar-Design by Ludwig Bertele could be called a "simplified Tele-Sonnar" design and can be found in the CZJ 4/135 and 3.5/135 as well. Classic Sonnar should have "three cemented lenses".

This 2.8/90 looks really good. Anyone know if the 4/90 Travenar is the same design?

I've got a Travegar 100 / 3.3 which can be razor sharp. It has possibly the same multi bladed aperture and wonderful bokeh. But it's a lens that sometimes fails me, and I don't know why. I should use it more often and see if I can get results like this. This 90mm does look very impressive.

I vaguely recall that the Alpa book by Lothar Thewes states that the Schacht 2,8`90 was a 6-element design- I will try to dig up the book as well as the lens & post results.

I have the later version of this beautiful lens with only 6 diaphragm blades .
It's a beautiful lens, very sharp and the colours are fantastic. The only slight issue for me is purple fringing which can be quite strong wideopen.
This is at ƒ4 with an extension tube:

I sold my M42 copy and bought a LTM copy to use on my rangefinder. Idea

I wonder whether there is a difference between the earlier version of Chrome from 50-, and later "zebra" from 60-?

Nice one! I am curious about some night shots with lights at closed diaphragm Smile

Very nice portrait, Lars ! And beautiful child!
What about difference between M42 - LTM (chrome) version?


PostPosted: Wed Jul 22, 2015 8:59 am    Post subject: Reply with quote

They are the same optically (LTM and m42). I compared the reflections in the elements and they are equal. The silver is a 85mm and could be different of course.

A few from the m42 version:

Recently tried mine on the a7ii with decent results. I am a huge fan of the zebra style (mostly german) short teles. I have the meyer trioplan 100/2.8, schact travenar 90mm 3.5, schneider tele-xenar 135.3.5, CZJ sonnar 135 3.5, enna tele ennalyt 135 3.5 and a vemar super bittco 135 3.5. All except the Bittco are really good. Those are all in Exakta mount though not the edixa versions. I'll have to see if I can find some of the photos.

A-Schacht-Travenar is an amazing and fantastic lens. My picture is made with this lens in silver design and 85/2.8:
