The Tessar is one of the most celebrated lens designs in photographic history — Carl Zeiss's iconic four-element formula, renowned for its exceptional sharpness, brilliant contrast, and the distinctive rendering that has made it a favourite among photographers and collectors for over a century. Compact when folded and deeply satisfying to use when open, the Welti I is a genuine piece of German photographic history that remains a joy to shoot with today.
