Considered by most as the best 50mm Carl Zeiss Jena has that special touch of the Zeiss in color reproduction. Made in East Germany completely in metal, without plastics or rubber.
It stands out among photographers for its sharpness and its bokeh effect. The image quality of this lens is very good, highlighting its sharpness in the center.
Like almost all Carl Zeiss Jena, the focus tends to harden over time and the diaphragm blades are prone to oil and other crap that prevent proper operation.
