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.

A unique, beautiful duo set of two classic Altix lenses: the Meyer-Optik Görlitz Trioplan 50mm f/2.9 and the Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 50mm f/2.8. A perfect combination for those who love characterful vintage glass and a practical standard lens.
De Trioplan is world-famous for its soap-bubble bokeh: round highlights with clear edges, a dreamy atmospheric effect, and a truly artistic look. Ideal for creative photography, flowers, portraits, and abstract work.
The Tessar offers exactly the opposite: a clear, high-contrast, and sharply detailed image with fine colors. An excellent all-round 50mm prime with a timeless rendering.

Both lenses work perfectly in terms of focus and diaphragm. However, there is visible dust, which I hope is not bothersome. Please look at the detailed photos yourself to see if it's just dust; I find it difficult to judge.
A rare Altix-to-Sony adapter is included, allowing it to be used directly on Sony E-mount system cameras. It appears to be a 3D-printed adapter. It can be securely screwed onto the Sony, with the lens attached via clicking.
Supplied with bottom caps.


Note: Comes without camera!

Combined shipping of lots is possible, but only if they are won in the same auction. This is to save on shipping costs.
