Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 50mm f/4

Purchased this wonderful Carl Zeiss lens from eBay, along with an Arsat 80mm f/2.8, a few weeks ago to experiment with tilt photography on my D90.  This is a medium format lens with a Pentacon Six mount.  Haven't had the chance yet to take this baby out for a real test drive, but it sure is gorgeous to look at :)


 


The lens is well-constructed, heavy and solid.  Focus is smooth and the aperture ring, snappy.  Cliche, maybe, but true.  Oh, and that front lens element...it's HUGE!  and BEAUTIFUL!
