Tessar F2.8/50mm ★9191789★ Carl Zeiss Jena DDR ★ Rare Zebra ★ Dead Stock ★ Hard-to-Find Old Lens Mirrorless Camera SLR Camera The Tessar is a single-focal-length photographic lens and its structure, produced by Carl Zeiss of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany), and is one of the iconic lens brands representing Carl Zeiss. Compared to other configurations such as the triplet, which was widely used at the time, the Tessar features astonishing high image quality, including less distortion, beautiful bokeh, and above all, sharpness in the focus plane. Carl Zeiss advertised the Tessar with the catchphrase "The Eagle Eye of Your Camera" (Das Adlerauge Ihrer Kamera), and it actually came to be called that by photographers around the world. This is a treasured lens from the former East Germany, before the fall of the Berlin Wall. It can be connected to mirrorless cameras and SLRs by using a mount, and it is a lens that can still be used actively even after more than 50 years. My grandfather kept it in a lens storage for many years, protecting it from moisture, dust, and mold, but I am not familiar with it, so it appears to have no problems with the lens or operation by visual inspection, but if you are concerned, please be sure to ask questions before bidding. The serial number is also engraved, and it is one of the few lenses made in East Germany, unmistakably Carl Zeiss JENA. It is a popular and rare zebra lens among the Tessar lenses! There are also lens hoods and other items from that time. Please purchase these valuable items together. Depending on the bidding situation, we can also negotiate a discount for bulk purchases. I would be happy if I could hand it over to someone who will cherish it. *Please feel free to ask questions. After winning the bid, no claims and no returns are accepted.
