Serviced&Tested Carl Zeiss Jena BIOTAR 50/1.4 Pentaflex Sony E Adapted VG Glass

TRIVIA: very famous vintage manual focus swirly bokeh lens especially good for artistic portraiture photography.

ADAPTATION: a vintage item used previously (on video camera) - works. CLA'd, mirrorless tested, Sony E mount hard-adapted lens. Ready for Sony E mirrorless users only at the moment. Adapter is puttable down on demand for free prior to purchase in case different system adaptation is needed. (That further adaptation is merely on the buyer as various Pentaflex adapters seem to start popping up for sale quite recently.) Quite simple ex- M42 / E-mount adapter has been used / crafted as a source but everything works just fine.

ITEM CONDITION: an overhauled lens so expect absolutely clean glasses and freely running mechanics. Very good glass condition, especially crucial rear element (no haze no fungus no fog, coherent coating layers). Limited number of very faint hairlines can be seen during a lamp test or torch test but absolutely irrelevant for IQ.

TESTING: a good number of wide open made pics with some PP done with my 43 mpix. mirrorless cam may be seen under the item gallery to demonstrate the true lens abilities. Have fun!
