AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

I am selling the very extensive photography collection of my late father. He was a passionate hobby photographer for 65 years and in recent years also experimented with alternative lenses on digital cameras. He would disassemble the lenses if necessary for cleaning or repair. I am not a photography expert myself, so I describe the lot as thoroughly as possible, including as many detailed photos as possible.
READ the information below and carefully examine the attached photos to avoid any misunderstandings.

This concerns:

Discover the charm of classic photography with this Altix‑N camera, equipped with the renowned Carl Zeiss Tessar 50 mm f/2.8 lens. This combination combines craftsmanship and vintage optics in a compact and reliable system. The Tessar lens is known for its bright, sharp images and excellent contrast, making both portraits and street and reportage scenes come to life. Even at full aperture, the lens remains impressively sharp, while the background softly blurs and a characteristic bokeh effect creates a beautiful highlight for the subject.
The Altix-N body feels solid and reliable, with smoothly operating shutter and focusing mechanism. Everything functions properly, making this set suitable not only for collectors but also for active photographers who want to relive the classic analog experience.
The camera comes with a practical parattas, which protects the camera and lens during transport and storage. This makes the set ready to use immediately and safe to carry for outdoor photography or travel.
This combination of classic optics, robust camera mechanics, and practical portability makes this Altix-N with Tessar 50 mm f/2.8 lens an ideal choice for enthusiasts of vintage photography and collectors of historic cameras.

The lens can be removed from the camera and used with an adapter on a digital camera.
