For the Beauty and the Beast, some of my beloved lenses had to go.
The Sigma XQ 1,8/135, the Vario Sonnar 80-200 and the Nikkor 2/28 are no longer with me. Crying or Very sad
But Shrek is happy now with my Vario Sonnar 80-200.

... and I am happy, too for these two masterpieces of lenses. Very Happy

Guess which is the Beauty and which is the Beast.

Judging from the cosmetic conditions, the clear Beauty is the Contax Zeiss Vario-Sonnar 100-300 in near mint condition.
... but in terms of sharpness this is the real Beast.



And the Elmarit-R 2,8/90 1. version is the other way round.
Really used condition, dust inside ... but judging by the image rendering and bokeh, the real Beauty.




As Orio mentioned, the weather outside is ugly, so it will take a while to post some publishable pictures taken by the lenses here. Please forgive.

... and the lenses were a real bargain, so I couldn't resist.
