Carl Zeiss Jena Biometar MC 80/2.8 (P6): Medium format lens

I acquired the Carl Zeiss Jena Biometar MC 80/2.8 lens for some work.




It is a medium format lens with the Pentacon Six (P6) mount (also known as B-Mount).

The lens has 5 elements in 4 groups and 8 aperture blades.





I was surprised by the image quality (even at f/2.8), when I mounted the lens to the Sony a7c (FF). So, I started using the lens as an 85mm alternative. One drawback is that the lens with an adapter is quite large (for an f/2.8 FF lens).
