Today I went to my favourite local second hand photo shop and found many excellent rare items.


I bought following lenses:

Carl Zeiss Jena Black Biotar 5.8cm f2 with a Praktica first model. This lens made around 1949. Lens is quite clean , no scratches and works smoothly, after 50 yrs! Camera works also!

Rolleiflex SL 35 ME (non working)+Carl Zess Plannar 50mm f1.4 (Made in Germany) Beuatiful clean glass, works smooth.

Jupiter-9 85mm f2 MINT

Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 80mm f2.8 Exakta 66 , beautiful smooth works

I left a MINT EXAKTA 500 there (non working) how nice for display.


I am really happy now, I got three beautiful and rare Carl Zeiss lenses + plus some other good stuff for re-sale like Jupiter-9.

congratulate!
sounds quite rare, but I think, usually, the price in such a second hand shop is higher than ebay, you must find a great bargain shop

Congratulations, Attila. It's always exciting to find a good deal on lenses.

"Rolleiflex SL 35 ME (non working)+Carl Zess Plannar 50mm f1.4 (Made in Germany) Beuatiful clean glass, works smooth."

Which mount does that camera and lens use? Is it a unique mount, or is it the same as something else?

Rollei mount, adapter available for Canon EOS. I have to find solution how can I mount on Olympus E-1.

Another deal was even better first issued Praktica with Black Biotar 5,8cm f2 they are pretty rare made 50 yrs ago in limited quantity.

You need a Pentacon 6 to M42 adapter.

I thought that Exakta 66 had the same mount as Pentacon 6.
Then this means that also the lenses are not compatible between the two.
