On a few occasions, I have seen and heard of Carl Zeiss Jena lenses (from the former DDR). Some of these are available with the C/Y mount and regularly surface up on eBay, at seemingly bargain prices. Of particular notice are the CZJ Flektogon MC 20/2.8 and the Sonnar MC 180/2.8 (apparently based on the famed Olympia Sonnar... what a coincidence). Apart from their collectible value, how good are these East-German lenses? Does anyone have hands-on experience with these lenses? Are they worhty of the Carl Zeiss name?
