Introduction Carl Zeiss Biometar 80Mm F/2.8 Is a Pentacon Six Lens (Or Kiev 60) Introduction Carl Zeiss Biometar 80mm f/2.8 is a Pentacon six lens (or Kiev 60). That is a medium format mount build for sensors, app. 50 x 39 mm (or more) compared to Full Frame which is 36 x 24 mm. The medium format sensor covers 1,977 mm 2 while the FF sensor covers 864mm 2. The lens is, in other words build to cope with much larger images going to the sensor than FF need – and even much much larger images than my Olympus camera with the small four thirds sensor need (225 mm 2). This mean that you need an adaptor ring to get the lens on the camera. You can get adaptor rings at eBay and mostly for a small amount of money. You can even get adaptor rings that allow your camera to make the Focus “beeeep” when you hit focus. But the lens is, however, still fully manuel. This is good help. Because when you stop down the aperture, your viewfinder does get more and more dark. Due to the size of the sensor; this 80 mm lens was build to be a “normal lens”; which is about 50 mm on a Full Frame camera. The size of the sensor gives a negative crop factor. But the lens isn’t as big as you might think. Biometar 80 mm f/2.8 weighs about 400 gr., it uses 58 mm filters and it does come out with between 35 mm and 45 mm from the adaptor ring. Wide open is f/2.8. It is a fast lens. Working with the lens is very pleasant. The build quality is very high and you have this feeling of “I might use this lens as a hammer, if needed”. The balance is good – but mounted on a small camera (e.g. Olympus E-520), it might get a little heavy in the front even so. The adaptor ring for Olympus does send the lens extra 39 mm in front of the camera. The lens is very pleasant to operate. The size is very good for the grip. The focus ring is operated smoothly and the grip is very good due to the small diamonds. The aperture ring has the same feeling: smoothly, but here with clean steps too. When operated the front element does not turn; that is good when using pol-filtre. Carl Zeiss Biometar 80mm, f/2.8 (Pentacon six) www.hdrfoto.dk Page 1 ©John Nyberg The focus ring has 270 degrees turn. That is a lot. The first 180 degrees handles focusing between 1 meter (near limit) and 2.2 meters. Thus giving the focus plenty of turn to be precise. The advantage is that you have this long turn for the short distances (where focusing is the most critical). The downpoint is that you have to turn a lot when shifting between close focus and focusing at a longer distance. The aperture is from f/2.8 to f/22. The ring is thin, but operates very easily. The lens has 8 blades. Data Remember that the angel of view (Bildwinkel) is changed when the lens is mounted on a crop camera and on a Full Frame too. The lens has five elements in four groups. Price It is not a new lens. It has all manual. But it doesn’t come free. The buy-now prices on eBay for this lens is about £ 110. But you might be lucky and find the lens for less. As allways prices on eBay are depending on a lot of things – and sometimes it might even come down to luck (or misspelled/-typed ads.). The images I have a theory about using medium format lenes on a crop camera; but I don’t know if it is true or not. I think that the images from the lens to the sensor must be much larger than the sensors need. Therefor concentrating the image to the center area of the lens. If that is good thinking, the image will not suffer from the same distortion in the corners or the image than normal lenses for your camera will tend to deliver. Carl Zeiss Biometar 80mm, f/2.8 (Pentacon six) www.hdrfoto.dk Page 2 ©John Nyberg I have tested it with another medium format lens. I used a Pentax A 645 75 mm f/2.8 and have compared image to an images from a Zuiko 14-42 mm lens (Olympus kit lens). The key is that the increased distortion is larger when looking at the Zuiko lens than the Carl Zeiss. Compare crop 2 to crop 4. I know this is not a scientific test; but is does illustrate my theory. But tests might be very interesting for a short time. The real test is images from real life photography. All images show are taken using Olympus E-30 with an adaptor ring that allow the camera to give the focus “beep”. Carl Zeiss Biometar 80mm, f/2.8 (Pentacon six) www.hdrfoto.dk Page 3 ©John Nyberg Four images using f/5.6. In my eyes this is: Good colours, good sharpness and a fine smooth bokeh. The distance from camera and focuspoint is between 1.5 meters and 3 meters. Carl Zeiss Biometar 80mm, f/2.8 (Pentacon six) www.hdrfoto.dk Page 4 ©John Nyberg This page: Again f/5.6. The same nice touch to the images. Carl Zeiss Biometar 80mm, f/2.8 (Pentacon six) www.hdrfoto.dk Page 5 ©John Nyberg This page: F/4 is used. Carl Zeiss Biometar 80 mm f/2.8 does not turn the quality down when aperture is turned up. Below: The branch to the left is about 30-40 meters closer to the cemara than the couple holding hands.

The red square illustrates how much a 1000 x 750 pixel crop is out of the total image. Below: The crop. Note the sharpness and the very nice handling of the small details and texture of the clock and the plaster. Carl Zeiss Biometar 80mm, f/2.8 (Pentacon six) www.hdrfoto.dk Page 7 ©John Nyberg This page: 100 meters between camera and focussing point. Aperture is f/5.6. The red square illustrates how much a 1000 x 750 pixel crop is out of the total image. Below: The crop. Note the sharpness and the very nice handling of the small details and texture of the bricks. In my point of view: A very fine result. Carl Zeiss Biometar 80mm, f/2.8 (Pentacon six) www.hdrfoto.dk Page 8 ©John Nyberg Above: f/5.6. Right: The young swan is about 10 meters away.

Aperture is f/8. Below: No disortion here. Carl Zeiss Biometar 80mm, f/2.8 (Pentacon six) www.hdrfoto.dk Page 10 ©John Nyberg Sharpness Pictures do not have to be razor sharp at all times. I know that. But I like that lenses are very sharp at all times. I can always privide some blur later. I have two test of sharpness is this: The first is this little truck. The red square illustrates how much a 1000 x 200 pixels is. Next page: The test show that the lens is sharp from f/4 and holds the sharpness down to f/16. The lens is not sharp wide open and at f/22 it is very blurry. The follwing page: The motive is here a testpage (but the page wasn’t high quality sharp – it was printed from my own printer). The result is the same, however: Razor sharp from f/4 to f/16. Carl Zeiss Biometar 80mm, f/2.8 (Pentacon six) www.hdrfoto.dk Page 11 ©John Nyberg Carl Zeiss Biometar 80mm, f/2.8 (Pentacon six) www.hdrfoto.dk Page 12 ©John Nyberg Carl Zeiss Biometar 80mm, f/2.8 (Pentacon six) www.hdrfoto.dk Page 13 ©John Nyberg This page: Aperture is f/4. I like that sharpness, the colours and the bokeh. Carl Zeiss Biometar 80mm, f/2.8 (Pentacon six) www.hdrfoto.dk Page 14 ©John Nyberg Conclusion Admitted: I like to use old lenses. They often give me a special feeling. They have some soul to offer and I like that. The lens is like the very better or best of the old lenses. Sharpness is very good from f/4 to f/16 Bokeh is soft, smooth and very pleasant The colours are nice; a bit on the warm side, but nice I have not had any problems with CA yet The lens has a good feeling, the build quality is very high. That is all positive. The price is often around £ 100 and for a lens with these qualities that is not expensive. If you can live without autofocus, you will most likely find this lens very interesting. On a scale from 0 to 5, I give it: 4 Carl Zeiss Biometar 80mm, f/2.8 (Pentacon six) www.hdrfoto.dk Page 15 ©John Nyberg .

  • Carl Zeiss, 32, Wagnergasse, Jena, Germany. ((1847) Also: 29/II Dorotheen Strasse 29, Berlin, Germany
    Carl Zeiss, 32, Wagnergasse, Jena, Germany. ((1847) also: 29/II Dorotheen strasse 29, Berlin, Germany. (1901) and 29, Margaret St, Regent St, London W (1901) The founder, Carl Zeiss (1816-1888) was born in Weimar, the son of a cabinet maker and ivory carver. He graduated from school in 1834, qualified to be apprenticed to the Grand Dukes Instrument maker, Dr Koerner, and attended academic courses as well as working as apprentice. Next he travelled from Jan. 1838 to Oct. 1845 to study in Stuttgart, Darmstadt, Vienna, and Berlin to broaden his experience. Back at home, he studied chemistry and higher mathematics. By May 1845, he felt well enough qualified to apply to the County Administration at Weimar for permission to found "An establishment for the production of advanced mechanical devices", hoping for a relationship with the University to advance designs. Money was tight with capital of 100 Thalers (possibly £100) only, but in Nov. 1846, he opened at 7, Neugasse. It remained a small business for years, as it took some 20 years for the University relationship to be productive, and he often grew weary of the trial and error methods traditionally used in the trade. Much of the production was of microscopes- often relatively simple ones by modern standards, such as dissection viewers. Then in 1863, a young lecturer Ernst Abbe (1840-1905) joined the University to teach physics and astronomy. Zeiss approached him in 1866 for cooperation in the design of improved systems and this lead to new ideas, eg in the Abbe refractometer (1869), a comparator and a spectrometer.

  • Contax Way Da.Pdf
    Introduction The second period can be considered in Germany, as the one of the immediate post war, beginning in march 1945 up to the end of the Contax rangefinder construction by Zeiss Ikon in Sttutgart that means as 1958, time of issue the firsts Contarex cameras, although RF Contaxes were commercialized up to 1962. There are some historians that consider this era as up to 1987 when finally ended the construction of Kievs 35mm rangefinder, that really was the continuation of the pre war Contax II/III. Lenses for Contax cameras suffered, from the end of WWII, enormous alterations in origins place of manufacturing, design, manufacturing materials and glass types. and of course, quality. Lens manufacturing suffered different processes than camera production. The split of Germany in militarized zones, which later led to the advent of two Germanys, shocked the original main lens production at Jena, through the new Oberkochen plant in the West Germany. Beyond a natural reduction of market share, the Jena of Eastern Germany, payed a tribute to Russians due the need of war compensations. Jena Factory paid Soviet Union a new Contax factory at full operation level, later transferred to Kiev, as well as produced in large scales finished lenses and parts to be assembled, concentrating its pilot production in Krasnogorsk, near Moscow, where a new generation of lenses was born. West Germany received the “benefits” of the Marshall Plan opening new factories at West Germany. During the War, justified by the necessary efforts towards the victory, USA government launched the “War Bonus” in order to remove the Country rolling stock, and Government decided to buy cash all the factories military production, putting all people living in factories in order to mass produce needed war goods.
