andykowalczyk Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 I have seen a couple of mentions for Carl Zeiss Jena lenses with Minolta mounts. I have Googled for more information but have not had any luck. Does anyone know if any one has compiled details about these lenses? Or has some knowledge about them?

scott_lewis3 Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 I have only seen one for Minolta MF a long time ago; Zeiss had problems with the license to manufacture for the Minolta so if you can find one they are a colectors item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_linn Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 The ones I have seen were made in Japan under license from VEB Carl Zeiss Jena. They appear to have been made by Sigma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericd Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Are they really in Minolta mount or M42 with an adapter ring on ? I often use Pentacon lenses on Minolta bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_sak Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Hello, Has anyone used the adpaters for the kiev 88 and pentacon six lenses. I have seen adapters for sale for use with minolta MC/MC bayonet mount cameras. Whats it like are there any specifc advantages or disadvantages? It looks neat but I am not sure how useful it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
