Battery disposal
Information on the disposal of old batteries
The following notice is intended for those who use batteries or products with built-in batteries and no longer resell them in the form in which they were delivered (end users):
1. Free return of used batteries
Batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. You are legally obliged to return used batteries to ensure proper disposal. You can dispose of them at a municipal collection point or at a local retailer. As a battery distributor, we are also obligated to take back used batteries. However, our obligation to take back is limited to used batteries of the type that we carry or have carried as new batteries in our product range. You can therefore either return used batteries of the aforementioned type to us with sufficient postage or hand them in free of charge at our shipping warehouse at the address listed in the imprint.
2. Meaning of the battery symbols
Batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out wheeled bin (see below). This symbol indicates that batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. For batteries containing more than 0.0005 percent mercury by mass, more than 0.002 percent cadmium by mass, or more than 0.004 percent lead by mass, the chemical name of the pollutant used is located below the wheeled bin symbol – where "Cd" stands for cadmium, "Pb" for lead, and "Hg" for mercury.

Description
Carl Zeiss Jena Q1 Tessar compact 50mm f/2.8 8 Blades Lens (Exa)
Normal focal length in the Exakta system
The Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar compact 50 mm f/2.8 Exakta is a manually focused prime lens. With 50 mm, you choose a normal field of view for everyday life, travel, and people on 35mm film. Instead of turning a zoom ring, you determine the framing and spatial effect by the distance to the subject. The maximum aperture of f/2.8 is the starting point for exposure and depth of field.
The aperture design of the Exakta mount
The manufacturer's brochure distinguishes the Tessar for earlier Exakta/Exa cameras from the Praktica M42 version. For the Exakta mount, it specifies an automatic spring diaphragm. This distinction is practically important: You preselect the aperture, while the mechanical coupling belonging to the camera determines the exposure sequence. Therefore, an M42 description with a pin does not apply to this mount.
Close-up range in the model concept
For the Tessar 50/2.8 of the Exakta design, the manufacturer specifies a minimum focusing distance of 0.35 m and an M49×0.75 filter thread. This allows you to consider a concrete distance when planning table shots or details. This value indicates the distance to the image plane and is neither a working distance in front of the lens nor a specification of the magnification scale.
Suitable camera and conscious workflow
The offered mount is Exakta/Exa. On a suitable SLR, you first look for the field of view and set the focus in the viewfinder. Then you choose the working aperture for the subject. For digital use, a precisely matching adapter is required. The common Tessar name does not mean that mounts for Exakta, M42, or other historical cameras would be mechanically interchangeable.
