CZJ Flektogon 35/2.8 (Macro version) on G1

f6cvalkyrie

Yet another vintage camera and lens combo came to my home.
This time, a Exa 1a with a Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35/2.8.
The Flektogon is the so called "Macro" version, that focusses down to 18cm,
but I have the impression that it focusses much closer on my adapter.
I will have to check for infinity focus later on.

Here's a first shot from the garden

The lens seems rasor sharp, even fully open like here. Colour rendering and contrast are pleasing to me, and the bokeh soft and sweet.

I just checked both infinity focus and minimum focus distance.
Both are correct.
For minimum focus distance, stupid me forgot that this is measured from the film/sensor plane, not from the front of the lens.

Here's a sample at minimum focus distance !
