Even optics-wise the lens stands out since sharpness is great and color rendering is very accurate. Ergonomics is great, as there is a big focusing ring that's very easy to operate. The lens looks and feels special, as build quality seems better than in other Zeiss lenses.

It was the last incarnation of the Zeiss aus Jena ultra wide series that started with the 25mm f4 Flektogon and was then followed by the 20mm f4 Flektogon.

The 20mm f2.8 Carl Zeiss Flektogon MC is probably the best ultra wide angle lens in the M42 mount. In fact, we consider that they cannot match the build quality displayed by premium Japanese lenses, such as the Takumar series made by Asahi Pentax.Д¬ompared to other German brands, Carl Zeiss lenses have a certain reputation and which hasn't been surpassed as time went by. Mechanically though, their quality differed, from very good for the most part of their existence to only good in the final years (late 1980s - early 1990s). Optics-wise, the quality of Jena lenses was very solid. The Western branch also developed the Sonnar and the Tessar, albeit in different focal length, along with other lens series such as the Biogon, Distagon and Planar. The latest generation of classic Carl Zeiss Jena lenses was made of plain metal with red or green markings.

Through the years, their lenses had different exterior designs and trims: the older ones were chromed and then came the 'zebra' type. Their portfolio includes many generations of lenses such as the Tessar, the Sonnar, the Pancolar and the Flektogon. But when sold in the Western countries, they were branded simply вЂњaus JenaвЂќ or just 'Jena', as Carl Zeiss West Germany had the right to use the original name. When sold in Eastern European countries, the lenses were named 'Carl Zeiss Jena'. The company not only produced camera lenses, but also binoculars, industrial optics and optical equipment for the military. Later they also used the Prakticar bayonet system. One part of the company continued production in Jena, the German Democratic Republic, while the other relocated in Oberkochen, West Germany.Д¬arl Zeiss Jena built lenses in the M42 and Exakta mounts. At that particular time Carl Zeiss, which had been founded in Jena in 1846 as an optics workshop, was divided between the two German states. Had Hitler not issued that directive before Eberhard von Breitenbuch arrived in Berghof He used to say that вЂњhunters and gatherers are a primitive state in the development of mankindвЂќ.Д¬arl Zeiss Jena is the Eastern branch of the legendary Carl Zeiss Company and appeared under this name after World War II. Secondly, Eberhard von Breitenbuch definitely had no contact with Stauffenberg вЂ“ they were in different heeres groups and the conspiration was well shielded also internally, so von Breitenbuch came out of it unharmed. Firstly, the date of the issue of that directive is unknown to him, but it was definitely the first time his father was not allowed in the briefings. But Breitenbuch was denied entry into the conference because of a fuehrer directive issued earlier that same day prohibiting ADCвЂ™s from attending fuehrer briefings. Moreover, to learn about the history of Zeiss, and вЂ“ quite unexpectedly вЂ“ about a most thrilling part of German history.

When owning binoculars was forbidden under threat of death, why an attempt to assassinate Hitler failed, and scenes from the history of Zeiss A great opportunity for me to enjoy some legendary porros for a couple of weeks and profit from his vast knowledge about vintage binoculars.
