| Carl Zeiss Planar 50mm f1.7 T* (C/Y mount)
possibly the most inexpensive Planar you'll find...    I bought this lens originally when I was elbows-deep in my modified K-S1 project, and the mount would not allow full infinity focus so I attempted to solve that with a quick disassembly of the lens.... and promptly bodged it.... I sent it off to Advance Camera for a repair and it came back in full/proper working order... | |

after my attempt to 'fix' the lens, it would only shoot wide open (due to the aperture return spring disappearing inside the body)   | |

even wide open, it still performed admirably   | |

after I wrapped up the modified K-S1 project, I moved the lens to my Fuji bodies, where it continued to be sharp and contrasty, even though stuck wide open:   | |

I did (finally) send this lens off for repair....  | |

|
after the repair, I found that it is possibly the sharpest non-macro lens I own....    | |
