I had bid 78USD to one and it ended with 79USD.
Pretty cheap for an ultra-wide zeiss.
Can you share shot samples with the Exakta mount flek, older than the M42 version, aus jena labelled zebra body.
And for the last question how does it compared with 350-400USD priced zuiko 3.5/21, I'm guessing the answer will be Zuiko is better

I have a 4/20 with Exakta mount but I didn't use it a lot because on my Oly it'd become a 40 mm... but now I have a Varex IIa where to test it more efficiently

I've red that there is a model variation in flektogon 4/20s and later ones are better. If this is not the case then it is a safe lens to buy cause I guess I can live with a Zeiss and produce the exakta mount adapter for my eos.

I've got my answer and I'm sad that I've missed that one, I'll hunt for an exakta version, when I'm rich I can buy a Zuiko 2/21

Zuiko 3.5/21mm same good one for half price.
All Flektogons are top lenses, you will be happy any of them. Question is how can you make adapter to support infinity on your 5D.

There is already Exakta-EoS adapter with 60usd cost but I've mechanical engineer friend, university labarotories and gears to produce one But Rollei-QB-EOS adapter (we are waiting one from big-is right now and will create our design based on it) has the priority right now, this flek can wait some more.

To say the truth, I had completely different experience with Flektogons, including 20/4.0 but might be I was not lucky with the concrete exemplars. However, my friend, the professional photographer, expressed to me the same opinion, when I started to complain to him concerning my Flektogons. In DDR the quality of the lens production very frequently had not been to standards we should be expecting from the German folk, unfortunately.

I've found one in Turkey and also he said that it has bad performance and he startet to use tamron sp 3.5/17. I'll try both of them this weekend. And he also noted that they have sold a Leica 90/2.8 for just 160USD
