Rare Early Silver Carl Zeiss Jena F/2. 8 80mm Biometar Red T 12 - Blades M42
Item History & Price
Dear Customer. I'm glad to propose up for the sale Very Rare German Carl Zeiss Jena Biometar 2.8/80 12-BLADES version with M42 mount in good working Condition. Great choice for collectors.Will fit digital SLR and mirrorless cameras like Canon/Sony/Nikon/Pentax/Panasonic 4/3 etc. with adapters which you can also find on ebay!
Lens equipped with 12 blades aperture which gives round bokeh balls at whole range up to f/16
Item description:
The ...Carl Zeiss Jena Biometar 80mm f2.8 lens is one of the oldest Carl Zeiss Jena lenses available and is available in the classic all metal finish (along with the Zeiss Biotar and Tessar lenses). These older versions still have specific air bubbles in the lens glass (these do not affect image quality – back in the day it was very difficult to produce pure high end glass).
The build quality of this lens is outstanding as you would expect from an all metal Zeiss lens.
The image quality of this lens is very good. While shot wide open the center of the image is very sharp, while the rest of the image creates a unique bookeh which is almost twirling and creamy. This makes this lens a great companion for portraiture and artistic photography. Even when mounted on a digital camera this vintage lens produces images with an almost analog like feel. Used on a classic 6x6 MF camera like Pentacon Six this lens is a classic portrait lens that is highly renowned and sought after for its’ specific bookeh.
The Biometar lens has become somewhat of a collectors item for which you will have to pay a price premium.
