Biotar Portrait'eh

            Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar semi automatic exacta type with 10 blades. The least sought for version. In my opinion, for all wrong reasons. It does not have 12 or 17 blades. So what, for f2 lens you will not really close it more to make bokeh shots. And that is the only advantage of many blades. Semi automatic system was clunky and less useful than preset and full automatic. Not really an issue if one shoots wide open all the time or on the modern digital camera. None of those systems works any more on digital camera and one need to measure light on the aperture one want to use.
Optically it is at par if not better than previous versions and coating is better for sure. It swirls, it gives kinda cooler colours,
