A shiny silver lens for my NEX Smile

This lens is the older f/4 version for Exakta bayonet. The serial (5895334) indicates that is was produced in 1958-1961. The 1Q symbol tells us that the lens is "export quality".
The ARG-file I use with exiftool for this lens: czjsonnar135f4.txt

Code:
-n
-XMP:Lens=Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 135mm f/4 1Q (EXA)
-XMP:SerialNumber=5895334
-EXIF:MaxApertureValue=4
-EXIF:FocalLength=135
-EXIF:FocalLengthIn35mmFormat=135
-EXIF:FNumber=4


You can take a look at its dedicated gallery or at my blog, or you can just take a look at the pictures here:
