Francesco Glavina Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I just bought this Zeiss 180 2.8 but... What is the mount??? I need to adapt it to a Canon Eos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Dunn Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I think we'll need some more photographs showing side views. At the moment it doesn't seem to have a mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesco Glavina Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 I haven't other photos of the mount. Just those... It's a Zeiss Sonnar. I don't think Zeiss sell lenses without a mount. Please if someone know the answer or the history of this lens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Drysdale Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 It seems like a Zeiss Jena lens, rather than the West German glass, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Aapo Lettinen Posted March 8, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted March 8, 2016 looks like M42 mount Zeiss Jena Sonnar 180mm. the shutter tab of the M42 mount is visible on the rear image. but the lens rear cap is on in side images so can't be absolutely sure because the mount is not visible on those. you can just measure the mount diameter, if it's 42mm then it's the M42 (no T2 mount on those lenses as far as I know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Dunn Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 That's why I wanted to see the side of the mount. It seemed very shallow. But if the red tab is the stop-down lever, then it figures, but isn't the stop-down pin too close to the thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesco Glavina Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) Mark, everyone could recognize an m42 from a lateral photo. I made this post because I need some one that recognize it from THIS photo. Someone that know the Zeiss History and the mounts. I think it's an M42, as Aapo said. Thanks to all. When it will arrive I'll know it for sure. Edited March 10, 2016 by Francesco Glavina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
