Ridiculous price. Yes, triangular aperture. The Contarex version of this lens and some of the earlier ones for Rollei have a three-blade diaphragm. I never knew why Zeiss used this very odd design. It does produce triangular out of focus highlights. I used to have one just like this for my Rollei. Excellent lens, but not worth $ 750. Also, when a Rollei mount lens is put onto a Canon EOS via an adapter you do not get infinity focus, a point he conveniently fails to mention. You end up with a close-up lens.
