    Shane,

    So you think the Carl Zeiss Jena 180mm is a "great lens and cheap."?

    Someone wrote on eBay that because the lens was originally made for Pentacon 6 cameras, that the lens is actually equivalant to a 105mm on a 35mm camera... is that right?

    It's a 180mm, it will always be a 180mm. Just buy one, you'll like it.

    A lens is a lens is a lens.

    A 180mm lens on a 6x6 has the approximate field of view as a 105mm on a Full Frame 35mm camera. aka 36x24mm. Take a look at Mitch Gross' Explanation here:
