Five massive vintage Carl Zeiss Jena large-format lenses arranged on a light wooden table. The collection includes four Apo-Tessars with focal lengths of 60cm, 75cm, 90cm (which has a small dent on the outer rim), and a giant 120cm f/11. In the center sits a smaller Tessar 300mm f/3.5. The lenses are black with white engravings showing their technical specifications and serial numbers, with the glass reflecting the overhead light.

Collected a few CZJ Tessars over the years. The 90cm has a small dent, call it a battle scar, but at this scale, it’s basically a rounding error. I call it 'character,' as they’ve always been workhorses, not just collector items.

When you're a member of the #CrappyCommieCameraParty and the #shittylenschallenge and love the swirl it doesn't have to be a Helios. Just have a look at projection lenses like this #CZJ #Kipronar 140/1.9 ...
