Very rare lens not showing up more than 1x a year on Ebay. Very well built quality lens. Ideal for portraits and artistic photographs it has exceptional good out focus background effect "bokeh". Produced around 1950-60 in limited quantity I saw with M42 and with Exakta mount. The 2,8/80 Biometar was developed in 1948. Mounted for Kine Exakta, then Contax (M42) and Rolleiflex.

This lens a third party lens like Soligor or Porst not better not worst, you should get for very low price , mine was a few euros. I can't say anything more look galleries and decided buy or not. Same lens available from different suppliers with different filter size 52-55mm. This lens what I tested avarage quality like cheap zooms,not recommended for quality shoots. |

Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 4/20mm "Zebra" lens one of the Carl Zeiss Jena legend. A very few people know it for architectural photography you can't find better lens even if we compare the very expensive Carl Zeiss Distagon lenses. This lens has zero distortion I say this is the must have lens for serious photographers. Mechanically not very well built, but far better than today's plastic craps. This lens has no auto-manual switch or pre-set ring,it has a push button to set the lens in manual mode. Under exposition if you use on digital camera with an adapter ring you must have push this button to close aperture to the right position.On film cameras the auto mechanism works perfect don't need to push.Almost all people think about the latest MC version and less people pay much attention to this lens, this is a big mistake this lens better lens than latest black MC.If you have a chance to grab them take them both and if you disagree with me just sell one of them. As usual these lenses not wait to much time for selling.
