This is a very nice lens, both to look at, but most importantly, to use.

This copy is in good all-round condition, with a tiny amount of dust inside and some marks on the front element which look like smudges but are difficult to remove (which suggests to me that they may be inside). They have no impact on images, as will be evident from the samples below (taken this evening).

Focus ring is really smooth, as is the aperture selection.

The lens is in M42 screw-mount and has been used on my Canon EOS 40D without any problem.

Looking at *Bay, the prices range from €95.00 to €298.00 as BIN items, but these prices seem a little crazy to me, and I'd like this lens to find another good home, preferably with a forum member.

Therefore, I am asking for €55.00 + €15.00 Shipping (Registered Post) + 3% PayPal. Please PM me with any queries or to express interest.

Thanks for looking Smile

Sample 1 :: f/2.8 @ 100ISO


Sample 2 :: f/8 @ 100ISO

I think this is a 'more difficult to find' version of the Tessar. I've seen many versions but seldom this one. I wouldn't call it rare though.

If I remember riight, this was the standard lens for the Zeiss Ikon/Icarex 35.

I have one of these but I havent really put it to use.
