Carl Zeiss Jena Olympic Sonnar 300mm f/4 Lens Review

I was shocked when I tested Carl Zeiss Jena Olympic Sonnar 180mm f/2.8.It has outstanding image quality, so I tried to get more rare 300mm f/4 version. I was disappointed after first test, this is  good lens , but not comparable with 180mm Olympic Sonnar.

Very well built lens, if you store right, seems you can use forever. Aperture just rock stable, focusing smooth. Come with one the following mounts: Exakta,M42,Pentacon SIX. Not too heavy lens compare with age, usable for every purposes.

Don't know about the Olympic 180 but my copy of the 300mm is sharp from wide opens and IQ beats all the other 300mm f/4 lenses I've owned.
