PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The use of optical glass with special properties ensures that this 100-300 mm Vario-Sonnar® T* f/4.5-5.6 lens provides excellent image quality over its entire image field and focal length range. Like all Zeiss Vario-Sonnar® T* lenses, this is a one-touch zoom lens, i.e., the same ring is used for zooming and focusing. As special types of glass with a somewhat higher temperature dependence have been used, a fixed infinity stop has been dispensed with. This guarantees perfect adjustment even in extreme temperatures. This relatively compact Vario-Sonnar® T* lens is ideal for a wide variety of photographic applications, but especially in nature and sports photography.

"The Contax Vario Sonnar 4.5-5.6/100-300 has gained a legendary reputation because of its rarity and its optical qualities. It was the first Zeiss lens that used special glass which is a proof of the ambitions that Zeiss had with this design. I can confirm that this lens has undeniable qualities. The sharpness is very good in the 100-200mm range and can keep up with good prime lenses.Good flare resistance, low to moderate pincushion distortion, low vignetting and acceptable sun stars are also welcome. The bokeh is among the best in the xx-300mm zoom lens class although not perfect."

" After the first photos this will be the word that will be out of your mouth when you will see the results. The pictures made with this handy zoom literally pops-out from the screen, even from the tiny one of the digital cameras, not to mention from an iMac! By any means this it’s not a cheap lens. When it came out its price was out of range for most professionals. And even used, now, its price is stable around the 500/700 euro. But, believe me, it is worth every cent. "

Medium Format
Medium format refers to the size of your roll of film (or if you’re talking digital, it’s the size of the camera sensor). It really just means that you are shooting on a bigger piece of film than you do with a 35mm camera. The increased size of medium format film means a much larger negative. This will give you finer details and less grain.
Choosing your Right Medium Format Camera
Twin Lens Reflex (TLRS)
TLRs use two objective lens of the same focal length. The photographic objective lens is the one that is used to take the picture. The other lens, called the view lens, is connected to the viewfinder. Most TLRs are fixed focal length, and the more expensive models may incorporate a rudimentary room function. Most TLRs use a leaf shutter system, resulting in high speeds, quiet operation and low shutter vibration. There are also close-up, wide angle and telephoto adapters for TLRs.
Some popular TLRS cameras are: Yashica MAT-124G, Rolleiflex 2.8F, Minolta Autocord and Mamiya C330
Rangefinder
Rangefinder cameras are medium format cameras with a range finder. This negates the waistline, viewing that most TLRs carry. They are also much smaller than TLRs, and allow for easier point and shoot photographs. They tend to have limited focusing ranges, and do not have lenses larger than 180mm or 200mm. Rangefinders are quieter and easier to focus in dim light. They are mostly fixed lens models, but higher range models also provide for interchangeability.
Some popular rangefinder cameras are: Fujica G690, Mamiya 6/7, Bronica RF645, Norita 66 and Pentax 67
