Tessar 5cm Lenses

Can you tell me whether the lens on the right is a Contax mount RF lens?<div></div>

It does appear to be so, yes.

Thank you, Michael. This is really good to know.,

If the lens on the right is a Tessar 5cm/3.5 lens, then absolutely yes. I had this lens 30+ years ago, and the

one in your picture looks identical. They commanded a premium price amongst Contax RF collectors some years ago,

AFAIK.

Positively yes. It's a pre-war chrome collapsible 2,8/50 Tessar that might have been sold with a Contax II or III, yet if will fit any Zeiss Contax RF. They didn't continue making it after the war because it didn't have much of a reputation for wide open performance - the 3,5 was much better.

Mani and Peter: Thank you for the information. I paid little for these lenses, so having three useful lenses is good for me. I rarely see a Contax mount Tessar for sale here or at RFF.

The lens on the right is a 5cm/2.8, as Peter has pointed out.

The others look like Exakta.

David,

Is the middle one a M42 mount? You could be right though.
