75/2.5 Color-Heliar on a Zeiss Ikon

What framelines does the CV 75/2.5 Color-Heliar lens use on the ZI? I assume the 85. Anyone tried it?

It's a screw mount lens. Framelines depend on the adapter you're using it with.

I don't think CV makes a 75mm adapter, so should I assume the 28/90 adaptor will bring up the 85mm frameline?

CV do in that they make a 50/75 adapter. This will bring up the 50/75 framelines on the M6 etc. For the ZI, it would be your choice. If you prefer to frame outside the 85 lines, use a 28/90 adapter. If you prefer to frame inside the 50 lines use a 50/75 one.

Altenatively use the CV 75 finder. They are very good. 😉

i just picked up a 75 finder and was surprised at the difference between the view of a 75 and a 90 (on the cle).
the finder is probably worth using.

gandy has a used one listed on his site for 90 bucks.

ask Huck Finn, he is using that on the Ikon.

I use it with a 28 - 90 adaptor and if you just think outside the 85 frame lines on the ZI it is "just about" right. But if it is really critical on the edge (though I find this so rare to be non existing) of the frame then you can bring up both 85 and 50 frames if slowly flip the preview. Or as Kim and Back both said use a 75 finder. As i tend to rarely use 100% of the frame shot and now scan all my negs using the 85 frame lines works wonderfully for me
