Tessar Globica?

**norm the storm** · 19-Feb-2012, 15:36

What does mean ""Globica""?

Is it a good ""Portrait"" lens a Tessar 250mm f4.5 Globica for 4 x 5 format.
I'm thinking that Tessar design is a good option but I don't have experience with these lens.

Any advise will be appreciated

Thank you

To elaborate: Globica is a brand of east-german studio cameras. If the lens belonged to a Globica, it was made by Carl Zeiss Jena and is mounted in a barrel. It will cover 5x7" with movements. Since these were made at least until 1990, it might be a quite modern, coated version.
