The Limbo Connection's photos with the keyword: 50mm Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar f/2.8

Canon EOS 20D and 50mm Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar f/2.8. I find photographs made on a digital SLR with M42 lenses often need a lift in post processing, especially for lack of contrast and saturation. However, even though I no longer have the Canon 20D, I cannot countenance the sale of the CZJ Tessar. It is a joy to use: not fast, but sharp wide open at the modest f/2.8; sublime handling - focus and aperture stops feel 'just right'; and the ability to focus as close as 14 inches, which provides a big image in combination with an APS-C digital sensor.
