A Carl Zeiss Tessar lens with 14 aperture blades. This one of the rarest versions of SLR Tessar lenses.
Sadly, it is sold on the basis that it is for parts or not working.
It has serious internal haze, a small amount of fungus, and some cleaning marks to the front element. It therefore needs to be stripped and cleaned before it can be used. Despite this, the focus and aperture rings are smooth in operation.
The aluminum barrel shows a fair amount of oxidization.
It is NOT supplied with front or rear lens caps.
