Tenax II photos

(If you landed on this page and want to read about the Zeiss Ikon Tenax II, visit this page ».)

As with most of my photo pages, look at the thumbnails below. If you want to see a larger version, click on the individual photo. If your browser blocks pop-ups or if you use use a pop-up stopper program (I use one), then you'll need to either turn off that feature temporarily in the browser or the program.

The Sonnar on this camera has cleaning marks, which is never a good thing on any lens. Depending on the severity of it, cleaning marks can lower the contrast – particularly in the center of the photo –  and can affect sharpness. With this lens, the cleaning marks make themselves most apparent with color film, particularly transparency film.

I think it might be best if I limit use of this camera to color print and black and white emulsions.
