Greetings,
over time I managed to acquire two Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 50mm f/2.8 lenses, both of different sizes and characteristics.

After digging a bit, I have seen some people say that the T version is actually rather rare, since it has some extra anti-reflex coatings.
I would like to sell both of those to buy some other lenses I'm more interested in collecting, such as the Volna 9, Canon FD 50/3.5, Cassar S 50mm f/2.8, Macro-Takumar 50mm f/4 or perhaps some modern manual lenses for APS-C e mount. How much can I expect for each of those?
The larger non T version was cleaned by me with the assistance of my father today (who is mechanically proficient), we picked it up today from a guy who was giving away old photo gear that he wanted to get rid of. It had some slight fungus inside so I washed it thoroughly with detergent and then soaked it in hydrogen peroxide for a few mins. It is clean now, but the glasses are a little fogged.
The T version is significantly cleaner with some haze around the edges that is however not visible unless you hold a flashlight up directly to the lens. The problem with it is that the focus ring is mostly stuck. Is this lens easy to oil at all?
And last question, is there a significant difference between the two? I don't really plan to do any extensive tests besides maybe seeing if the lenses are not decentered to help me evaluate how much to sell for.
Thanks! |
