From the editor

Probably identical to the Color-Lanthar 50mm F/2.8 for the Voigtlander Bessamatic (1964). The lens was manufactured for Zeiss Ikon Icarex 35/35S SLR cameras with the Bayonet Mount (BM) only.

The aperture changes completely smoothly, without clicks.

Notes

  • Filters, in bayonet mount fitting B50, fit all ICAREX lenses from 35mm to 135mm. Lenses up to 90mm have an additional S56 screw mount. Flexible lens hood S56 was available for all ICAREX lenses from 35mm to 90mm.
