Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 80 mm f/ 2.8 (for Pentacon Six)
80mm · f/2.8
Overview
The Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 80mm f/2.8 for Pentacon Six is a capable lens, best from f/4 outdoors but decent at f/2.8 indoors (ManualFocus-G). It is very flare-prone, especially with backlit subjects. Build is solid but sample variation can cause issues like stuck apertures. It suits photographers willing to work around its quirks and invest in a proper CLA.
