Somewhat rare early version of the 58mm Biotar, from the late 1940s, early 1950s. 17 aperture blades! Quite a bit of cleaning marks on the front lens, some cleaning marks inside the optics, too. Worst of the haze has been cleaned from the optics. Aperture blades are clean. Focusing is just a tad on the firm side, but perfectly usable. Some cosmetic wear.
