50-year-old Zeiss SLR
Just put up a page about my latest toy (sold on eBay this week), the
Zeiss Ikon Contaflex, with one sample image each from the three lenses. I really don't feel I was able to get the best from the scanned print of the stormy sky, but it was a "one hour photo" cheapo, and my desktop scanner isn't anything to rave about either. http://web.mac.com/olddognewtrick/iWeb/Site/Zeiss.html -- "Our ignorance is not so vast as our failure to use what we know." |

I have a Rolleiflex TLR (with the 75/3.5 Tessar) from that period that produces lovely sharp images. But I just bought a 1930s Zeiss Ikon Nettar 515/2, and it's a dog. Sigh. Try shooting some TMX100 with the 50mm Tessar at f/11 or f/16 (preferably on a tripod), and get some of the negs scanned professionally at 4000 ppi. You'll be impressed. David J.
