One of the first wide angle lens I think on 35mm SLR systems. My copy is made around 1945-1949.

Many thanks Andy!

Hi-res images are here

This is a super lens. I know it well. It rivals in sharpness the Contax and Leica.
And very nice views of your beautiful city! Hoping that it stays that way and doesn't turn red.

Thank you ! Red danger is gone I think 4000 people working on it with hundreds of big machines. New government seems handle it well.

Laughing Yes, I love all Tessars including this one. Such a small lens like Industar-50.

I have said for a long time the tourist office should buy your stuff. You have better pictures than they do.

I have acquired a Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 4cm 4.5 in exakta mount. Thoughts on the age?

Watch this: http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Carl_Zeiss_serial_numbers

Around 1950 I would say.

excellent sharpness and colours, and I like also the frame/presentation.
