Werra 1C 50/2.8 Tessar, Fomapan 400. A lovely but strange little camera, in particular the lens optics and operation. These photos were taken on the same day and roll, a couple of hours apart. Unlike any other Zeiss lens I've used.
Two shots taken with a Zeiss Triotar 135mm f4 on an Olympus OMD EM5.
For an old and supposedly "unspectacular" lens this oldy (which usually plays second fiddle to the Zeiss Trioplan 100mm f2.8 which is renowned for its "bubble bokeh") performs excellently from the get-go. I bought this lens for $30 AUD at a camera show some years back, it being seized up and in rough cosmetic condition. Fortunately, it is an easy lens to strip down (once you know how) and service, and the exterior, being aluminium, was equally easy to polish. Its a nice lens to use and its only sin being physically very "long". It is definitely not a tele lens in the technical sense. but its photos are a joy to behold. 🙂
Likewise this photo. Same lens and camera but of a very nice couple I know through the local 2CV club. They are a really nice couple. The skin tones are great for inside a pizza parlor at night. Yes, it is not quite in focus.
