You know, at this point you are probably the worlds leading authority on 35mm portrait lenses ?
I can't imagine who would have tried so many of them. _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. |

Carl Zeiss Biotar 75mm f1.5, Carl Zeiss Jena Pancolar 1.8/80mm
Both are very sharp even at wide open, both has beautiful color rendering and Biotar has a very own character. Pancolar more like modern lenses like Contax lenses. _________________ -------------------------------

Any good place to search and buy these lenses?
Is Ebay the only option? |

Made in 1951 right after war, suppose to be a good copy, 2/58mm around equal Helios-44. No big difference. _________________ -------------------------------
