Pictures are beautiful, congrats! Logo on first picture is wrong , this lens made by Carl Zeiss Jena and not by Carl Zeiss.

Carl Zeiss Jena is first company after war they were split to two parts just like Germany. Carl Zeiss Jena in East Germany made your lens
western part call Carl Zeiss and use that logo what you did use on picture.

No, all images were shot handheld.

the first photo ( the one of the woman in the pink shirt) shot wide open has considerably
less contrast than the later F5.6 shot. Is this the lens characteristic, or is it just different
lighting, processing, exposure, etc?

Your right, but is just different lighting.

I love to use my 180mm lens per adaptor on my CONTAX 645 AF for Portrait shots, in- and outside! Usually I am shooting handheld, because the shutter of the Contax 645 work very smooth, and I like the solid weight of this combo!

Doesn't look so huge on that camera.

Well, I've seen a zebra version in a shop vitrine - it looks like an absolute behemoth of the lens, kinda squashed Tair-3: shorter and fatter.

YES, the MF lens without the original lens shade is quiet compact, but it needs an 86mm filter!

Not as bulky as expected! I love this lens on my 6x6 and 645 cameras, using it mostly for portraits and landscapes! My favorite slide film material is the ROLLEI Digibase CR200 Rollfilm 120 (former AGFACHROME APX II 200) with its excellent natural colors!
