Carl Zeiss Jena's wide-angle for Praktica — the 28mm f/2.8 in bayonet mount.
The Carl Zeiss Jena 28mm f/2.8 in Praktica Bayonet mount is a fast wide-angle prime from the East German Zeiss optical works, produced for the Praktica SLR system. Zeiss Jena primes in the Praktica bayonet mount represent quality East German optical engineering.
The lens delivers 28mm at f/2.8 maximum aperture with Praktica Bayonet coupling, manual focus and aperture, and full-frame 35mm coverage. Carl Zeiss Jena T-coating reduces flare.
The 28mm f/2.8 provides classic wide-angle coverage for documentary, street, and landscape photography. Zeiss Jena quality at the Praktica price point made these lenses competitive within the East German camera market. Praktica Bayonet adapters allow M42 conversion for modern camera adaptation.
Inspect Zeiss T-coating integrity. Test aperture blade operation. Verify Praktica Bayonet coupling. Check focus ring smoothness.
