It's written Carl Zeiss Jena on it. That is not the Carl Zeiss Oberkochen which made SuperSpeeds, UP, MPs, etc.... Carl Zeiss Jena was/is the east German sister company.

Interesting lens though, and for macro shots probably a viable option.

I remember these old lenses. They use to be used on Contarex SLRs and mayby others.

Thanks for the link. I saw full resolution stills from this lens on a d3 and I was amazed how sharp it was for an older lens.

I was playing with this lens last night with the mount reversed to make it a macro, and I can nearly fill the frame on my super16 camera with the tip of a ball point pen!- I think I am going to hang on to it! I highly recommend the m42 to adapter for turning m42 lenses into macros. I bought mine: here

Too much fun.
