| Carl Zeiss Jena Macro-Prakticar 55mm f2.8 MC
I had read a couple snippets on the internet that CZJ had made a 55mm macro lens, and that some examples existed in M42 mount..... I found that the info was spurious and just flat wrong - the lens I was after was only made in a Praktica 'B' mount, to fit a Praktica SLR... and there is no good way to adapt a Praktica B mount to a K-mount camera..... so.... a mirrorless camera would seem to fill the bill - but don't tell anyone that I bought into a new camera system just because of this lens.... (that would be crazy, right?)     | |

working this lens out in an aquarium yesterday - poor lighting at the best of times, plus shooting behind glass, etc....   | |
