[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Carl Zeiss Jena, in the first days of Prewar reconstruction, made a 1.5/6cm Sonnar and 1.5/7.5cm Biotar in Leica thread-mount. The first is quite rare, only 25 supposedly made in LTM and a further 25 in Contax RF mount, though only five or six are known today. The second is even rarer, only two being known. And there is the 2/8.5cm Sonnar in Leica thread-mount made by Carl Zeiss Jena from the immediate Prewar days until the ending of the unpleasantness. This is a more common lens, and one well worth owning. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
