Up for sale is a legendary vintage prime lens Carl Zeiss Jena DDR Tessar 50mm f/2.8 in a classic late-production black metal body design. This iconic lens features the famous 4-element Tessar optical formula known worldwide as the Eagle Eye for its outstanding sharpness and contrast. It is perfect for portrait street and vintage character photography.

The lens is in beautiful vintage cosmetic condition as shown in the high-resolution photo. The black finish is very clean and the focus ring grips are well-preserved with serial number 10773172 clearly visible. The focus ring rotates smoothly and the aperture blades are free of oil and snappy.

The front and rear glass elements look clear with only a few minor internal dust specks typical for vintage optics which will not affect the image quality. It has not been film-tested recently so it is sold as is for your camera gear collection.

You will receive the exact Carl Zeiss Tessar lens shown in the photo. It will be wrapped very securely and shipped promptly with a tracking number. Please review the picture closely and feel free to send a message if you have any questions.
