The CZJ Sonnar 300mm F4 is a lens that "slipped through my fingers", metaphorically speaking, many years ago. Then it was only possible to buy it in the local market. I got very frustrated at that time because I really wanted that lens. Fortunately my rationality came back soon, and I ended up buying a Super Takumar 300mm F4, which is very sharp lens, weighs only 850 grams without the tripod collar, and can be used hand held. The "defect" of the Super Takumar is its lateral chromatic aberration, but it can be easily eliminated by PP. The "defect" of the Sonnar 300mm F4 is the large size and weight of more than 2 kilograms, which in practice requires a tripod for best results. I always had the impression that in the former East Germany, lack of optical glasses and aluminum was never a problem. However, who is not afraid of large and heavy optics will find that the CZJ Sonnar 300mm F4 is a fantastic lens.
