 CARL ZEISS JENA 200mm f2.8 SONNAR. 

High Quality manual focus Tele lens in the popular M42 screw mount with auto/manual iris diaphragm. Would fit Pentax screw bodies, or any of the (many) cameras having M42 screw fixing. Could also be used on a DSLR with the appropriate M42/Bayonet adaptor. The lens is quite large and heavy for its focal length and aperture size - solid all-metal construction and lots of glass! Zeiss (and also Leitz) always maintained that, allowing a lens to 'grow' to its full natural size resulted in superior optical performance, due to the scope it affords the designer regarding control of aberations. The front diameter is about 80mm (filter size appears to be 77mm), and focus part about 95mm. The lens is approximately 15.5cm long at infinity. Close focus point is 2.2m (just over 7ft), and minimum aperture is f22. The glass is multi-coated and looks bright and clean - no scratches or fungus, no clouding or hazing - just the usual odd dust spec here and there. The focus is smooth and even, and the iris operates crisply - no oil on the blades.  Cosmetically, the lens looks very clean and the barrel is free from scratches and marks - just the odd light rub mark here and there, if you look hard - and no dings or dents. The lens has a built-in reversable hood, and comes with front and back caps, plus leather hard case.  Ser No 10434020.
