CONTAX ZEISS VARIO SONNAR 28-70MM F3.5-4.5
These vintage zoom lenses take a little getting used to as they typically have 3 zoom rings: aperture, zoom and focus. This lens has a midrange zoom range extending from 28mm to 70mm. If you push the zoom ring past 70mm you go into 70mm macro mode. One thing to note is that the aperture of this lens does change as you zoom so if you expose your shot for 28mm then zoom into 70mm you’ll have to adjust your settings. Sharpness is just ok. Back in the era of these vintage lenses, zoom lenses offered versatility at the sacrifice of sharpness. Overall this is a small compact zoom lens that looks great on any camera.
