Carl Zeiss Jena DDR Sonnar 3,5/135. Review




Carl Zeiss Jena DDR Sonnar 3,5/135 is a telephoto lens for 35mm cameras. The lens is an improved modification of the Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 135mm f4. It differs from its predecessor, smaller in size and speed and "Zebra" barrel design. Produced for M42 and bayonet Exacta.

My copy is released between 1970 and 1975, as evidenced by the serial number 9432400. Has single coating. The optical design — classic Sonnar, 4 elements in 3 groups. I mount it on a Nikon D3100 camera with adapter M42-Nikon, while focusing is possible at a distance of 8 meters. That ASP/C camera allows you to take a half-length portrait. To achieve infinity, the lens needs to adapt.

Sonnar 3,5/135 Handling and Mechanics

The lens has an interesting constructive difference from modern ones. The black metal barrel, focusing ring is not rubberized; instead front part of the barrel has a thin ring, "Zebra," which can be focusing. Carl Zeiss Jena DDR Sonnar 3,5/135

The same ring on aperture control. On the camera, it looks stylish, yet modern design comfortable and convenient.

 

Focusing

As mentioned above, the lens has a focusing ring, "Zebra." Even though it is narrow, focusing is convenient. The helicoid rotates at 320 degrees, so you can easily catch the sharpness. Carl Zeiss Jena DDR Sonnar 3,5/135

Backlight still afraid.

Personal experience

I write this review after only 2 weeks of use. My copy substantially seedy: under the front of the lens, there is a small fungus, the diaphragm sticks, carving a filter murdered, body-worn. Carl Zeiss Jena DDR Sonnar 3,5/135 samples

But despite all this, the lens shows good results. It is convenient to shoot, the photos are wonderful.

It Will be free time, and I will repair it and adapt it for Nikon F.
