CZJ Pancolar 2/50. Seriously one of the best lenses offered in the Exakta mount.

Post-War CZJ 5.8cm F2 Biotar "T", on the Nikon Z5. After I CLA'd the lens.
This lens has a new RFF owner, will be on an Exakta again.

First-Batch 5.8cm F2 Biotar, uncoated optics and "Dome" Aperture mechanism.
I'm guessing this is the oldest 5.8cm F2 Biotar used on a Nikon.

bench by Berang Berang, on FlickrA photo from a Schacht 3.5/35 Travegon, a lens designed by the legendary Ludwig Bertele (as a favor for Schacht, who had used his connections in the NSDAP to get Bertele out of a bothersome situation during the war). A lens that is unique among retrofocus wide angles so far as I know, having six elements in three groups, each group being a cemented doublet. Unfortunately almost impossible to find today without either coating damage or separation. My early example does have some coating damage on the front element, but fortunately only toward the edge of the glass, so long as it is used in the shade the results are sharp and contrasty. One thing that stuck out to me when printing this roll was just how much more contrast there was in the images produced with the Travegon, as compared with the Meritar. It was as if I had changed the #2 contrast filter for a #3.
