This following lense was listed here
CARL ZEISS JENA DDR B1424
Click here to see on Ebay

Is that a cjz 135/3,5 ???

Is there any difference of a lense starting with B & normal 5 digit serial number.. ??

That's a prime example of a badly listed lens - yes it's a Sonnar 3.5/135 and it most certainly isn't a zoom.

The CZJ Sonnar 135 will have either 'S' or 'Sonnar' on the trim ring and can have either 5 or 4 digit serial numbers.

I don't know if the Praktica bayonet versions had the letter 'B' on them, but the M42 ones certainly don't, at least none of my two copies have anyway.
