Zeiss Opton Triotar 8.5cm f4. Contax external mount, rangefinder coupled. It features a triplet design with 3 elements in 3 groups, and comes with T coating. Marked in meters.
Manufactured in Stuttgart, this lens was supplied for the Contax IIa and IIIa cameras. With a lightweight aluminum barrel, it weighs just 237g and has a filter diameter of 40.5mm.
Renowned for its compact size, light weight, and excellent image quality, this particular unit is a relatively rare aluminum barrel version and is in beautiful condition.
The exterior shows only minimal signs of wear and age-related aluminum corrosion, making this aluminum barrel version of the Triotar exceptionally beautiful.
All functions operate normally, and the rangefinder coupling works perfectly. There are no cleaning marks or haze on the glass, which remains in outstanding condition, allowing for the original image quality to shine through.
Included are the original front and rear caps, a Zeiss leather pouch, and an aftermarket protective filter. This lens is a great addition for any collection!
