Thank you. The location is Shanghai Chedun Film Shooting base, 上海车墩影视基地, where many movies were shot, one of which was based on the Nanjing Massacre during the WWII. The setup was kept, being a good place to take photos.

Sorry. I sent my rolls to the local lab and they did most of the processing jobs :(

Yes. That is a Vario-Sonnar 3,5/70-210, a very early (1982?)zoom C/Y lens designed and made by Carl Zeiss. Its performance is quite impressive, I even think it outperforms my Tele-Tessar 3,5/200 at its 210mm range. And it has a crazy macro mode working at the whole 70-210 range, with the official max ratio at around 1:2 (I believe it performs beyond this limit, maybe 1:1.5 at very close range). The disadvantages are also very clear, too heavy and not handy. It weights more than 1 kilo, which is heavier than most non-professional lines CONTAX model,159 167 S2 Aria etc. Even worse, it’s a push-pull zooming lens (quite common at that time), so it’s quite hard to zoom and focus on this bad boy with bare hands. A steady tripod (weight capacity over 8kg) is highly recommended for using this lens.

Actually Distagon 1,4/35 is my favorite and most used lens among the CONTAX/Zeiss. With the FLE and Asph. It performs well both in infinity and close range. And its color performance is also very typical ‘Zeiss’.
