Re: Zeiss jena sonnar nr2552394 contax fit.


Will Panich
 

Greetings to All!

I have a very similar 1.5 Jena Sonnar with a earlier serial number 2188102. I came upon it a few years ago on Ebay. Mine is definitely not "T" coated but it renders very beautifully wide open(i.e. dreamy) but quickly becomes very sharp but with a character that is quite unique at f2 and beyond. Wouldn't be without it. It has stops to F11. Am I to understand this lens was manufactured in 1913 based on the serial # chart? If so, truly remarkable lens.

Best regards,Wil

This lens is included in a batch of 3000 lenses completed 3 June 1939.? It does not appear to be coated, as judged from the photos, lacking any sort of amber or other color highlights.? No "T" markings either, but that alone is not dispositive.?

Hi... Could somebody help me date this lens correctly please. ?It's on eBay right now.?

I found a link with dates but I'm not sure they are correct.?

?The serial number is 2552394

Hope someone could give me a bit more information. Is this lens coated??

Many thanks?
