Carl Zeiss Jena rare Biotar 1.5/7.5cm Ver. 2 with Thin Exakta mount, 18‑blade diaphragm, tested and working.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Nice heavy (511 grams) lens from Carl Zeiss Jena. This one is suitable for Exakta mount but can also be nicely mounted on your system camera with an adapter. What strikes me is that the focus ring moves a bit stiffly but still smoothly. This is slightly less true for the diaphragm ring, which moves 18 blades. Furthermore, this lens has some dust here and there, which is quite normal for its age. I couldn't find any fungi. Unfortunately, I don't have any caps, as this is a bare lens.

See the photos to get a good idea of the condition of the lens; they are part of the description. You get what you see!

Shipping with DPD, GLS, or DHL.

It is well packed and shipped quickly. We are not responsible for additional taxes levied outside the EU and for returns if you are not at home.

Good luck with the auction and success!
