Pros: Excellent mechanical optical quality, colors and feeling of trimensionity, cost.

Cons: It stretches if carried on the shoulder, heavy, difficult to find a specimen in excellent condition.

Opinion: Purchased used in Japan, paid little for its value, customs fees included, being a 75xxxx seems free from the typical defects of the serial numbers 74xxxx, has lenses clean from mold and opacity. For the rest, being an admirer of C / Y I can say that this zoom is a Zeiss in all respects. Excellent optical quality at virtually all focal lengths and from TA to f11. Virtually no aberration. Perfectly frictioned ring for both functions, a sensory pleasure maneuver it. The colors are typically Zeiss, loads the right but never exaggerated. The bokeh is excellent, creamy and never intrusive, together with the great sharpness gives a beautiful pop effect, typical of the brand. The few defects are those described above, but the weight is a guarantee of solidity, in fact it seems built to go to war. The fact that it stretches is annoying but it is nothing dramatic. For many the fact that it is not AF can be a problem, but I would not put it as a defect, the pleasure of using this ring is priceless and, with some expensive exceptions, impossible to find in modern lenses.
