Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 58mm f2 Silver [M42]

I have two versions of this lens, the original 5.8cm f2 in Exakta mount, which I covered here, and here, is smaller than the silver, M42 version, which I had a couple of sample images here. Not really sure why, but I have been shooting with Carl Zeiss Jena lenses for the last couple of weeks, spending most of my lunch hours at the Toronto Music Garden.

The Biotar 58mm f2 is a wonder lens with silky, exquisite bokeh.  All the pictures below were shot to showcase how nice the bokeh of the Biotar is.

    I commented in an earlier post of yours as well so I apologize if this is overkill. I just wanted to share that the Jena B beauty ring is an import ring that can be removed easily. Underneath you'll find the native ring branded as Carl Zeiss Biotar. :-)
