A classic lens still suitable for digital photography. Metal body and easy to mount on modern cameras with an inexpensive adapter. Contrast is exceptional and the 45mm focal length is great for street photography. It even has a zone focusing mark for f/8 use which provides excellent depth of field control for quick shots that you might otherwise miss. At around $200 for a good copy it represents and excellent value for the money. Highly recommended.

Most underrated C/Y mount Carl Zeiss lens. Super sharp, great for a wide breadth of subjects and easily adaptable to Fujifilm X series cameras.

I'm using it both on my Contax SLR and mirrorless camera with adapter. Excellent contrast and sharpness in a very compact package.

Fine things come in small packages. I have the much acclaimed C Z 50mm 1.4 planar t, but I love this little pancake lens even more. The photos it turns out are sharp and the color and contrast is unbelievable . The little lens that could.

Excellent results with adapter on Sony A7RII. The only drawback is that because it's so compact, it's a bit fidgety to focus and set aperture. This is a plus and a minus at the same time – compactness doesn't come free.
