Product Details

A beautifully built German 35mm from Zeiss Ikon, featuring the legendary Carl Zeiss Tessar 50mm f/2.8 — one of the most respected lens designs ever made, prized for its sharpness and rendering. Battery-free automatic exposure driven by a built-in selenium meter: just set the focus zone and shoot, with a manual aperture override for flash. Zone-focusing via intuitive pictogram icons (head-and-shoulders portrait, group, landscape) or the distance scale below. Prontomat-S leaf shutter, PC flash sync hidden under a rotating top-plate cover, and a pop-out rewind crank on the base. Compact, solid, all-metal construction with that classic chrome-and-black Zeiss look. A gorgeous shelf piece and a genuinely fun point-and-shoot for the film shooter who loves vintage German glass.
