This is the test film of my Contax F and its normal lens Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 1:2.8 f=50mm .
During all the test film, the Carl Zeiss Jean Tessar normal lens 2.8/50 was equipped with a Hoya filter 40.5mm screw on the lens barrel plus an aluminum 42mm push-on FOCA (France) shade hood. The camera was loaded with a film Rollei RPX 400 (rebranded Kentmere 400). Exposures were determined using an Minolta Autometer III Minolta light meter fitted with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas. The views were typically done at 1/100s or 1/200s and a few at 1/500s from the full aperture 2.8 to 6.3.

After completion, the film was revealed using Adox Adonal developper at dilution 1+25 at 20°C for 12min The film was then digitized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The RAW files obtained were processed without intermediate files in LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg together with some documentary smartphone pictures.
For 5 frames, the shutter closed abnormally sooner than it should. The second curtains met the first before the full curtains travels causing a non-exposed band. The images non cropped and cropped are presented both.The rest was correctly exposed. A spurious tiny light leak was also noted on several frames, possibly coming from the body back or a unwanted reflexion in the dark chamber. The erratic behavior of the shutter may be explained due to the cold temperature of the test (6°C) and the possible long-storage of this collection camera that will be inspected further with the necessary care required due to its age.

About the camera and its normal lens:
The VEB Pentacon Dresden company was the name chosen in the 50's for the suite of Zeiss Ikon Dresden after the WWII in the former Deutsche Demokratische Republik (DDR).
Looking for a matching Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar lens for my Pentacon (Contax D), I found for the same low price a combo with later Contax F (1957) in working condition. The camera has the Ernemann tower logo but is branded "Contax". The Contax F is a small improvement of previous "Spiegel Contax" including a Fresnel lens to improve the viewing screen plus a system to automatically close the iris by pressing the shutter release. Both Zeiss Ikon and Contax brands were contested to the Zeiss branch on the other side of the west-east internal German border.
To avoid legal problems for exportation, Zeiss Ikon Dresden deposited two new possible trade marks resulting from the contraction of the words "Pentaprism" + "Contax" giving "Pentacon" and "Pentax". The name of Pentax was sold to Asahi Opticals in 1956 and the SLR Contax continued its distribution either under the name "Contax" for the internal East market, and "Pentacon" for export.
A new logo symbolizing the Ernemann tower of the Dresden Zeiss Ikon factory. For a time the "ZI" initials were included in the logo before disappearing later.
The M42 lens, branded "Carl Zeiss Jena", is a mid 50's Tessar 1:2.8 f=50mm, is in perfect mechanical and optical conditions. The lens could fit 42mm push-on or 40.5mm screw-on filters and shade hoods.
