I've got a 28/2.8 Carl Zeiss Jena that I am quite happy to have.  
It is a great little lens.  I shot my TOPE 9 with it.  But these 
lenses don't have the best reputation, and I know nothing about 
the zooms.  It seems they were made lots of different places with 
lots of different results.  At the right price, I would buy 
another Jena.  Nothing ventured, nothing gained.  Of course, 
sometimes it's a fool and his money....
