Original created for the Olympics in  Munich, 1936, This lens survived for more then 50 years.
This is the ZEBRA model  due the design of new barrels. Was designed for medium format like Pentacon Six.
This lens only has 7 blades. Results are quite impressive  with lovely  colours
I'm shooting on hand  with my D800  using a specific adapteur .
