Note:. After the War, when F&H decided to match the Prewar Ikoflex III by using an f/2.8 lens, they contacted Zeiss to purchase some. This being before the final split between
Zeiss East and Zeiss West, the order was shunted to Jena, where lenses originally made for the Ikoflex III were in storage. CZJ coated these lenses, then sold them to F&H, who produced 7870 2.8A’s (PR155) between 12/49 and 2/51. In service, it turned out that
SOME, but not all, of the Tessars were mis-matched; that is, rear elements had become switched in storage so that the wrong elements were re-assembled when the lenses
were put into the shutters. F&H complained to Zeiss who replaced the lenses with
2.8/80 Zeiss-Opton Tessars made at Oberkochen (West Germany). Approximately 40%
of the original 2.8A’s seem to have had defective lenses. F&H did a massive recall and
almost all of the CZJ Tessars were replaced, making a 2.8A with the original CZJ Tessar a bit of a collectible. A second batch of 2,000 2.8A’s (PR155/1) were made between April
and August ’51; all of these had Zeiss-Opton Tessars.
