Staeble-Telexon E 85/5.6: My experience [1/3]

The Staeble-Telexon E 85/5.6 lens was made for Braun rangefinder cameras, but it can now be used with adapters. I shoot with it on the Sony a7c camera (FF, 24MP).

The resolution at f/5.6 is not ideal by today's standards, but good for the wide open aperture of an old lens (it's from the 1950s).




The f/5.6 aperture is definitely suitable for landscape photography.




There is a slight pincushion distortion.




At f/8-f/11, the lens does not produce clear sunstars.




Like many older lenses, it is prone to flare.




This also affects the contrast:




Slightly different framing increased the contrast:




I consider this to be a "single aperture" lens. I only shoot at f/5.6.
