Coffee Grinder'eh
Color Skopar was the most common 50mm Voigtländer lens at the time. Skopar is a direct copy of the Zeiss Jena Tessar. This here is made in the 1960th and a new computing by A.W. Tronnier and he said about the quality that it is nearly apochromatic corrugated. This were possible by using the new heavy glasses of its time.
As all the other Tessars, it is sharp, good contrast and slow lens.
Bokeh tends to be smooth if we come close enough to compensate for f2.8 aperture.
In some situations it becomes quite busy, but I would not say harsh. Objects in the distance are recognisable and has almost a Gaussian blur. Bokeh balls are, at least to my taste, uninspiring. I am not a fan of tessar bokeh. It reminds me of one produced by modern kit lenses.
Used as macro lens, a lens for still life photos, street photos, anything were we could somehow reduce and control bokeh, it is an excellent lens.
Coffee grinder on the photo is one of the very few objects from my distant past I brought here from my native Bosnia. And I use it every time I want a real good Turkish (Bosnian) coffee.
