AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Producer and Name: The inscription on the left is 'aus JENA'. This indicates that the lens was manufactured by Carl Zeiss Jena (in former East Germany - DDR), a historic optical manufacturer. Often, this type of lens was called Tessar (the 'T' on the lens suggests this), or 'Pancolar' depending on the specifications.
• Specifications: The inscriptions on the right indicate:
• T 1:2.8 f=50:
• T: Zeiss anti-reflective coating treatment symbol.
Maximum aperture: 1:2.8 or f/2.8.
• Focal Length: f=50 mm.
It is therefore a standard 50 mm lens with a maximum aperture of f/2.8.
• Serial Number: The serial number is displayed upside down at the bottom: "8706360".
Construction and Features
Barrel: The lens has a classic design, with a black front part and a wider ring (probably the focus or aperture ring) featuring a white and black ridged pattern, typical of many lenses produced in Eastern Europe during that period.
• Aperture ring: The depth of field markings and the aperture ring are visible. The aperture values are clearly readable, including 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, and 16.
Lenses: The lenses show a strong blue-violet reflection in the center, which is the signature of the Zeiss anti-reflective coating.
In summary, it is a Carl Zeiss Jena (DDR) lens with a 50 mm f/2.8 specification, very untested.
