For Sale SOLD: Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 58mm f/2 (T coating)

[Ari]

I have quite a few lenses in this FL and for this format, so I need to pare things down a bit.
The red T coating indicates a later production date, though I'm no expert.
This lens is in great condition, with clean glass and a perfectly working 12-bladed aperture. No haze, fungus or mold.
Some minor dust is all.
The M42 threads are clean as well, only the barrel shows any sign of age.

Includes two filters in their original Jena cases, both original caps and a plastic case for the lens.
Only the front lens cap is missing a small piece, but the cap stays in place.

Will work great on 35mm, obviously, but it will also be a great asset on digital. It even covers a Fuji GFX format sensor.

Sold, thank you.

I have two of these, one in exakta and one in m42- they are fabulous with classic rendering. Also most copies of this glass has bubbles from manufacturing, talk about character!
I've sold most of my 135 gear, these are the last to survive repeated cullings- probably will never let them go. Also good to know they cover the GFX! Would love to see a 01010 MF image if you have any to spare

With pleasure.
Here is a shot taken on the GFX, it's a RAW file converted to JPG with very basic processing.
Shot wide open, at f/2.
On the B&W image, I darkened the background a little.
This is shot in 6x7 format, so the top and bottom of the image are missing a few pixels, but still no vignetting.
