It can give very convincing 3D effects (with the right composition and light). _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. |

I had obtained that leans on the local flea-market. Something around $30. The lenses were perfect, however the external look was not so good.
Was quite surprised by the sharpness on the open. There is some sample, done by it on the FF.

Me, they're really quite similar.
Both are okay sharp performers with nice low MFD, don't get confused with rather poor pics shown in this thread, as they usually don't fully show its limits/possibilities (however, you may see some sharp images with well handled sun and contrast here too).
Both can be found cheap or bargain in as-is condition but both very much suffer from helicoid stiffness and, alternatively, haze/fungus and are really hard to dismantle homemade (dirty stiff Zeiss lens is kind of like an Excalibur sword in the stone).
Both have absolutely okay price:performance ratios, thus are very sharp for money they usually cost.
Bokeh nothing special, but quite pleasing, nothing to die for, but really okay, with still some vintage feeling or whatever you guys call it

I looked at converting a 135/4 Triotar to LTM once, could not be done with a J-11 mount- was for a friend. I have some more parts lenses now, might pick up one myself to see if it can be converted using a Sankyo mount from a 135/3.5.
I did convert a pre-war CZJ 13.5cm F4 Sonnar to Leica mount using a 1970s J-11 Mount. I use it with a hood, on the M9.
Converted Sonnar by fiftyonepointsix, on Flickr
Both wide-open.

This uncoated Zeiss lens was originally in Contax RF mount, ~$75; the J-11 was $50 with a Leitz M mount adapter. The Zeiss glass has a nice bloom to it. The J-11 is now in Contax mount. Zeiss did not make many uncoated 13.5cm F4 Sonnars in Leica mount, not sure how many coated 13.5cm F4 Sonnars were made in Leica mount.
Also wide-open. The M9 tries to estimate F-Stop in the EXIF. Shots on manual exposure really mess up the algorithm.

The uncoated optics handled the lighting well. These are straight exports from LR6. |

I'll check when i come home - i have a (uncoated) wartime Contax 4/13.5mm Sonnar and a coated post-war CZJ 13.5cm Triotar.
The Sonnar is quite bit smaller than the Triotar, that's for sure. _________________ www.artaphot.ch |

In M42 and Exakta Jena postwar versions, Sonnar and Triotar are about the same size, in fact, I think they share the same barrels.
Triotar 4/135:
Sonnar 4/135:
I have two Triotars in Exakta and M42, but I don't have an aluminium Sonnar so I can't confirm they are the same side-by-side in my own hands, but they look the same and my later black Sonnar is the same size and weight as my aluminium Triotars. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |
