I just got a 300mm f5.6 Tessar... Looks great, says, "Carl Zeiss made in
W. Germany" on the front, and appears to be coated...I have high hopes for
it as a good lens. I have a few questions...
1) Does anyone know what this thing was used for? I don't see any W. German Zeiss Tessars being offered out there as taking lenses, so any ideas as to what this was originally used for?
2)Would it cover 8x10? I seem to recall reading about tessars having
slightly narrow covrage...
3)The front group unscrews... Could this be a convertable lens? It is in a barrel right now without a diaphram... Could I be so lucky as to have this screw directly into a shutter?
TIA!
