Produced between 1957 and 1959, the 3.5 E2 is a refined and highly accomplished TLR that combines the legendary Carl Zeiss Planar 75mm f\/3.5 taking lens — one of the finest medium format optics ever produced — with a built-in uncoupled selenium light meter for streamlined exposure workflow. The Heidosmat 75mm f\/2.8 viewing lens provides a bright and clear focusing experience on the 6x6 ground glass, while the iconic crank-handle film advance simultaneously winds the film and cocks the shutter with mechanical precision that remains unmatched to this day. This example comes complete with its original brown leather ever-ready case — making it a particularly complete and well-preserved find.

The Planar's rendering is simply exceptional — sharp, three-dimensional, and with a bokeh quality that no modern lens can truly replicate. The built-in selenium meter makes exposure straightforward without requiring a battery, and the crank advance is one of the most satisfying mechanical experiences in all of photography.
