Raid, your photos always bring a smile to my face.
Great shots Petronius, liking the detail on the wooden panel.

Grmbl, the Sonnar hasn't arrived yet

 

[petronius]

Thank you siracusa and Mr. Flibble!

Great stuff, all. I just got for Christmas a Contax II and a collapsible 50/2 Sonnar, both 1938-39 vintage, so I'm looking forward to the uncoated look! (I have a Heavystar shade I'll use, though.)

Sweet, the 50mm f/1.5 arrived. Contax III loaded. Now all I need is for it to stop raining.

Testing the Contax III with an uncoated Sonnar 50 f/1.5 (loaded with Lucky 200 Color)

 

[Red Robin]

Should a Contax IIIA lens also fit the earlier Contax models?

 

[alienmeatsack]

Try printing the first picture -the one with the "Großdeutschland" NCO- on a sheet of old paper: anyone would think that it was taken in 1943 from a PK Bildberichter!

When using uncoated Zeiss lenses, I usually mount a shade though.

On Monday, I will get a pre-1945, uncoated Sonnar 85/2: can't wait to try it...

Best wishes,

I second this comment. The photos are beautiful and really feel like they were shot in another day and age. Wonderful job!

 

[furcafe]

Yes, they should.

Should a Contax IIIA lens also fit the earlier Contax models?

 

[gsgary]

Wonderful shots 3 and 4 of first post look like they could have been taken in WW2

 

[Alfasud]

This was taken with prewar ZI Nettar 510/2. Lens is a Nettar anastigmat 10.5 f7.7 (posted on another forum, but seemed to fit here).

 

[Thomas78]

Are pictures from other pre-war Zeiss lenses (e.g. Tessar from folding cameras) also welcome here ?
