Lens Notes:

Lens Description:

If you shoot with a Exakta-mount body and need a standard lens from 1961, the Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Domiplan 50mm F/2.8 is worth considering. The Triplet design (3 elements in 3 groups) is known for sharp rendering at the cost of field curvature, complemented by a wide f/2.8 maximum aperture and a 6-blade iris for smooth bokeh. It accepts 49mm screw-in filters and tips the scales at 150g (mount not specified). I have personally used and tested this lens.
