Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Orestegor 200mm f/4 Zebra

Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Orestegor 200mm f/4 Zebra
The Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Orestegor 200mm f/4 Zebra dates from the 1960s. Manual, of course. Heavy too - 2.15 kg. Therefore, either a fast shutter speed or a tripod is necessary. {I went for 1/500th and a high ISO).
There are 15 aperture blades, and the bokeh wide open at f/4 is highly regarded. The focus throw is very long, especially so when close to your subject. You can be fiddling with the focus ring for a long time trying to get it just right. I should have put it on a tripod; it would have been a better experience.
I didn't pay much for it, which is just as well given the frequency I use it. But in a studio and mounted on a tripod, I think it could produce some very attractive portraits.
Camera: Fujifilm X-E1.

Marko Novosel, Ingo Krehl have particularly liked this photo
