What do you think about this lens?.
I did bid for it without too much hope, and I got it for a mere 3,5€... plus shipping.


Click here to see on Ebay

Congratulations. A Zeiss is always a Zeiss and for that price it's better.
Our colleague made some tests here
http://flickr.com/search/?q=triotar (Lahnet) and http://www.mflenses.com/gallery/v/german/zeiss/triotar_135mm/ , ... and this one too http://flickr.com/photos/alessandro_guerani/2480335425/sizes/o/ & http://flickr.com/photos/alessandro_guerani/tags/carlzeissjenatriotar1354/ . Great photos Shocked
To me seems better than Meyer's Trioplan (shorter but faster 100/2.8 )

Excellent lens with very "3D" effect. I like using this one.

It is one of my best and beloved lenses!
Sharp / wonderful colors / nostalgic design.
Meanwhile I put it over my Sonnar 135 / 3.5.

Thanks!.

I used to have a Triotar but sold it because it was flarey like hell. This copy seems much better!

@Orio: with my Triotar I had no problems with flare. That was a plus too.

By the way:
The Flektogon 2.4 is more prone to flare then the Alu-Flektogon 2.8.
The Pancolar 1.8 is nearly flare-free.

Mine has some flare, I use a deep hood on mine, borrowed from the Takumar 135
