Later, Schneider also manufactured two special perspective control shift lenses. It seems that at least two of the Schneider M42 lenses (type IIIb) were made in very limited numbers in QBM mount: These lenses only existed in one-pin version, and they have a finish quite similar to the first Zeiss lenses. The Voigtländer name variant only existed with two pins, in the old finish.Īt some point Zeiss introduced the HFT multicoating in all the lens range.Ģ00mm f4 Tele- Tessar (built-in lens hood)Īt the beginning of the S元5 career, a limited range of lenses were made by Schneider. There were two variations of the barrel, the older lenses (one-pin and two-pin lenses) had an all metal finish on the focusing ring, the later ones (two-pin and three-pin lenses) had a rubberized focusing ring. Some of the Zeiss lenses were sold under the Voigtländer name to go with the VSL range. Some of these lenses had begun their career as Contarex lenses, and most of the range was to be recycled as Contax/Yashica lenses. The lenses produced in that mount were mostly from Carl Zeiss and were of high quality.
