The Tessar formula — often described as the \"Eagle Eye\" — delivers exceptional sharpness, natural colour rendering, and outstanding contrast in a compact and beautifully built package. This Carl Zeiss Jena DDR example represents the East German continuation of the legendary Zeiss optical tradition — built to the exacting standards of the original Zeiss formula and finished with the multi-coating quality that Carl Zeiss Jena glass is universally renowned for. In M42 mount, it adapts effortlessly to virtually any modern mirrorless or film body via adapter.
