Does anybody have a collection of the all the different barrel styles for this lens?
I also know that the lens was recalculated in the mid 1950s, was this the only time? Or was it improved again later?
I'd be very interested in knowing, if anybody has the answers, thanks in advance! |

I think I've had just about all the barrel styles apart from the last PB mount one, which is very rare.
Little difference in my experience, later ones have better coatings. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

The tessar design is pretty old now, surely there are many iterations in the design
I have 2 copies of the zebra tessar in m42, both have stiff focus. I took one apart to service it, can't get the bugger back together.... sigh...
I need to weigh up whether it's worth me spending 50 bucks to have my local shop service and reassemble for me.
Conundrum.

Yes but the 2.8/50 specifically first appeared in the 1930s. |

I thought I'd post a photo here as you don't often see them with this focus grip in M42 - at least I haven't seen many.
