Walkabout lens - a brief reflection on the first zoom - or a window on camera history...
"VOIGTLÄNDER ZOOMAR 36-82mm f:2.8 good condition €398"
reads the price-tag on this pionier zoom lens from 1959. Seen in the window of a Vienna second-hand camera dealer - and snapped 'in passing' with the body-cap/"mount shield" lens on my dear little PENTAX Q7.
It is said that these old uncoated zoom lenses are low in contrast because of reflections in the glass...
