I actually bought that lens for a friend in Spain.
But...I did NOT want to send it on. I took several shots with it, and it turns out to be DYNAMITE! 
Sort of similar in "feel" to Orio's 50/3.5.
It is a tiny little thing, and really beautiful.

Like "Jimmy Walker" DYNOHMYYYTTAH!
Wow! I'm stoked. It was one I had not seen before so I took the bait. I'm interested in how it stacks up. I found a Konica Hexanon 40 1.8 tessar that will be my first mechanical adaption. It will be cool to compare this CZ with my Contax and hopefully konica as well. The little contax one I have to admit is not such a pleasure for me to use. It is just to small for my brute fingers. Very nice image quality however. I used it a fair bit for B+W steet shooting on film. That lens mounted on a Contax Aria weighs less than a beer.

I was thinking of getting this today (on eBay).. I didnt bid after $12, as I found out after bidding, it was not screw mount... And that went for $12.50.. (As i said earlier, The prices of eastern bloc lenses has started dropping on US eBay... And with Nikon DSLR sales jumping.. Nikon MF lenses prices has started going up)
But the condition was not anywhere near to you copy...

It looks very sexxxxy - and condition seems excellent from your pictures (I assume the glass and mechanics are all in equally good shape). I have the nikkor equivalent, whihc is I believe based on the tessar design - the tiny little 45/2.8. I love that lens for what it can do - it's especially great for architecture, but has sweet boke. Enjoy it

I will remember you 1st for this one Attila. I will very likely keep it. This lens is the first one of my CZJ collection. I have some Meyer lenses Domiplan, Primoplan, and Trioplan. Also some other german lenses and cameras. But until now no CZJ so it will be hard to part with the first of surely many to come. |

Thanks Attila. This one I was going to buy just from a "looks" aspect. I will take a series for the gallery with it. There are several other lenses that I have purchased over the winter. Now the weather is improving and the daylight lasts a bit longer. I can go out and shoot more. I will post samples from quite a few lenses that are not yet in the lens Gallery. You are free to use any of them please do.  |

I don't know man...I sort of "beg to differ" on the quality of the imagery from this lens. As I had indicated, the two shots I took with the lens truly had some "bokeh" that knocked me out!
My friend in Spain has sent me images of his family from the lens, and he is having a BALL with the lens for his kids, and also for a bit of landscape work. The images are CRACKLING good, at least from his particular lens. Not the sharpest corners in the world, but the overall personality of the lens with its three-dimensional characteristics is truly gorgeous.
In fact, I might still have some of those images on my hard drive somewhere...I'll go look later on.
Edit: I found some! I did not include any of his family, of course, even though they were better comps than these.
But even in these, there is that Zeiss personality! A sort of "dreamy" or "detached" feeling with the Zeiss lens.
GREAT wall details.
That Zeiss "dream" look...

I'm a bit confused on how it was determined that the lens in the original post is T coated.
I just found one (m42) that has the Red "T" after the "40", which indicates T coating (serial 3834159), but I don't see that in the OP.
EDIT: SILLY ME and the lousy monitor I was viewing this on. I see it now. Mine is a close serial number!
PS... I would also like to differ on the lens quality.
a) Zeiss didn't make crap
b) the extremely slow aperture normally means that you are paid dividends in the color and contrast departments. There are a number of example on Flickr (from about 3 users) that also indicate that the lens is superb.
I'm going to consider it my manual focus Pentax Limited on my K-5.
