Roda,
I have no first-hand experience with this lens, but as I understand
it, the Jena lenses were all made in Japan during a difficult period for
Carl Zeiss in which they sold their name for profit. I have been told they
are "OK" lenses but not up to Carl Zeiss standards and certainly not worth
the asking price of $200-300. You'd be much better off with a Vivitar Series
1 lens of similar focal length at a price of less than $100 if you are
patient.
