Have the Tessar on a 3.5B (aka MX-EVS). Excellent expect when wide open as
mentioned here, though I wouldn't call it entry level. I think Zeiss made
an earlier, sub-standard lens (Biotar ?) for Rollei before they could
deliver 75mm Tessars.
Biotar sub-standard? Germans happily used them on their film cameras,
rather extensively during WW II. I think you might be thinking of the Jena
(GDR) Biometar instead, which later became known as Pentacon.
Somebody mentioned the Zeiss ZM line for Leica. Have
the f/2.8 35mm Biogon
and the f/2 50mm Planar for my M3 and M2. These perform very close to the
original Leitz glass, but are at least affordable for mere mortals.
Indeed and, more importantly, I'm very happy with my Biogon. Plus, that
blue orb also looks nice.
