AFAIK, it never existed.
The only 135 mm f4 in black (partially) were some early Sonnars made for the Contax I in brass body, instead of polished aluminum (Jupiters).
Since introduction of the Contax II in 1936, Zeiss made only chrome or nickel on brass lenses for those cameras. Arsenal adopted this last style but cheaper and lighter.

Some Jupiters too...

As I know for Kiev 2, 3, 4 only "white" J11 was built.
Black J11 may exist to fit Kiev 5 prototype. It was used for camera initial demonstration/approval/exhibition. But this is not confirmed. As I know no true-black J11 for Kiev RF was found so far.
As well as not found and most likely not exist, "white" J11 for Kiev 10,15,17,19,20.
But just bacause Alain the one who ask this question he may be on something  and I may be wrong. |
