THE ZEISS COMPENDIUM is available from Jimmy Koh, KEH, Tamarkin, and A Photographers Place and may be available from B&H as well. The 2.8/5cm CZJ Tessar is a Prewar design. It was not a stunningly fine performer (the Sonnars got that honour!) but is capable of fine results. Its production was not resumed after the War, though the slightly slower f/3.5 version was brought back both at Oberkochen and Jena. I WOULD like the serial number of this gem. These are rather rare in Leica TM (heck, ANY Zeiss lens is rare in LTM!) and I only know of a two or three others. Marc Marc James Small Cha Robh Bas Fir, Gun Ghras Fir! FAX: +540/343-7315
