Fast aperture lenses for Contax II/III series rangefinder

[RJ-]

Contax II & Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 5cm f1.5 cross-processed Kodak Tungsten 100T film shot at f1.5. The dreamy artistic light drawing of this lens mesmerises.

Thank you for all your help - I've settled on a few Voigtlander Contax mount wide-angles going up to f2.5 and a Jupiter 85mm f2.0 lens.

Kind regards,

RJ

In monologue mode, I hadn't anticipated this kind of fast. It arrived within a few days. Still only a f4.0 - I suppose it'll be curious to see what faster film looks like through its rendition.

It's working.....not too rusty for a pre-war rangefinder... Contax II, Sonnar 5cm f1.5 (Kodak HIE)
