The 250/4 Sonnar first version.
Initially the 250/4 Sonnar was the longet lens available for the Contarex system and of the original set,
the only lens finished in black. This early version has a preset diaphragm and a standard focus helical,
both changed in the later version. It was an expensive lens, listed at $329 in 1960, the most expensive
lens in the system at that time, and more expensive than the Bullseye body.
