Approx. 40 years ago, I had a YASHICA T4 camera! An excellent compact 35mm AF camera! Now, this little excellent Carl Zeiss 3,5/35mm lens, has found a new home! The f/stop are not available, but the DOF with this 35mm WW angle lens, works pretty good! But the distance can be adjusted incl. with focus peaking! No sweat!

I once adapted a Yashica 38mm/2.8 Probably a Tessar as well to K-mount using a reverse adapter. It doesn't look as neat and only works in close up, but it can focus with the helicoid it was in.

Came out of this broken piece of crap that someone put in as a freeby with a lens.

Yeah, the prices of these camera's went berserk. Regret that I got rid of my T3, T4, T5, Mju-2 and GR-1 too soon  |

Not at all, approx 40 years ago, some friend has presented the little lens to me, and I was using it in an plastic CONTAX camera cap for a long period of time, and later up to now, with an E-mount adaptor on my SONY cameras!
Today, I've compared this lens, with my C/Y Zeiss TESSAR T* 2,8/45mm on my SONY A6500! Both are equally sharp, but the little Tessar 3,5/35mm has a little more contrast!

I had a T4 and my wife used it as a point & shoot when we were touring the SW USA many years ago. I was using my EOS 600 with my superb Tamron Aspherical 24-70 / 3.4 5.6 ( I still have both of them ) with Fujichrome, and the T4 was rolling Kodak Gold. At the Grand Canyon we ran out of Kodak and put three or four rolls of Fujichhrome through the T4 as we went on a fabulous helicopter flight over, and into, the Grand Canyon. I have to admit, my wife got the better pictures. The T4 was fabulous, and I did appreciate it back then. But the film door latch broke, I used it a bit with tape holding the door shut, but eventually I threw it in a big box of junk and crappy cameras that I sold at a Camera Fair for next to nothing.

Yeah, it's a good lens. Very contrasty. Better than the Mju-2 IMO.
The prices of these things went through the roof though, it's almost rediculous. |

I actually got 50 euros for my T3 I bought at a flea market for 2 euros. So it was a 48% profit, right?

I guess he also must have been smart enough to know what percentage it was ..... Nevertheless with today's Ebay prices a profit of 10.000% would have been possible.
There was a favorite Tessar clone thread on Photo.net https://www.photo.net/discuss/threads/favorite-tessar-clone.355901/ Interesting subject to explore again.
