    Overview

    The Carl Zeiss Jena Biometar 120mm f/2.8 is a rare medium-format lens praised for sharpness even at f/4 and nice colors. However, it exhibits a strange milky area in the center of the image. Build-wise, disassembly is difficult due to a non-obvious helix guide rail design. It suits portrait photographers willing to accept the central haze issue.
