(2 customer reviews)

The Carl Zeiss Jena Pancolar (Prakticar) 80mm f/1.8 MC is a camera glass that can be used with different camera mounts. It is a manual focus lens with a wide aperture of f/1.8 which allows for a shallow depth of field and good low light performance. The lens has six optical elements that are coated to reduce glare and improve contrast. This lens was manufactured in the past, but it still has good build quality and resolution. The lens produces a pleasing bokeh, which is the quality of the out-of-focus areas of a photograph. This lens is not equipped with autofocus, so the photographer must manually focus the lens. Overall, the Carl Zeiss Jena Pancolar (Prakticar) 80mm f/1.8 MC is a good option for photographers who prefer manual focus lenses and want a lens with a wide aperture and good bokeh. There are different alternatives available in the market, but this lens is a good option for those who want to experiment with vintage lenses.
