Mmmmm - bit of a body cap ain't it...?
I'd have thought it would have been better with regard to flare since the front element is quite deeply recessed.
The bokeh is also, shall we say, "interesting"....... |

This lens looks like a Tessar scheme what is excellent like Nikkor 55mm f3.5 and Olympus OM Macro 50mm f3.5 this lens quality is pretty crap at every aperture no exception. Good for display only. _________________ -------------------------------

True Orio - it's not bad bad, but it is a very rare lens for the Exakta and as such commands a high price.
It's just a pity that it's IQ doesn't seem to match the price tag it fetches. |

Well, that's a common prejudice, isn't it?
I am rather surprised about my Meyer Domiplan 2.8/50, really. _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!

Guys, you have to understand you need to put lens hoods on those old single coat lenses. Half of these pictures are made worse by a flare, which could be avoided with a lens hood.
If I had to judge my silver Helios-40s without the hood, they would look crap, too.
No, wait, even the Helios-40-2 looks craps if you shoot backlit and you don't hood. I had to trash half of Carnival pictures made with Helios-40-2 because of the flare caused by no hood.
The other half, are amongst the best pictures I ever took.
That's the difference it makes. _________________ Orio, Administrator

@ Carsten: The fact that your Domiplan "surprised" you with it's performance seems to indicate that your expectations may not have been that high for it either.
@ Orio: The Domiron's front element is recessed so the lens body almost acts like a lens hood on its own.
Perhaps not enough?
Anyway, I'm still with Attila on this - it doesn't live up to it's status.

Many of old lenses doesn't flair like this and not just flair the problem sharpness just same than a noname Japanese lens sharpness, compare with Biotar 58mm f2 or Scheneider Xenon etc. This lens one of the worst 50mm lens what I ever had. _________________ -------------------------------

Maybe we judge by different standards. I look at your bulding picture (3rd column, second from top), and I see:
- ZERO chromatic aberration in a situation where many lenses, even much more expensive, might have shown some. I consider this not only acceptable, but a truly remarkable result.
- pleasant contrast and decent colour saturation
- more than acceptable detail, I can see all the decorations in the white curtains at the right. Detail on white curtains is usually the first thing that goes if the lens is bad. I can even perceive some glass structure in the yellow glass panels in the centre, although I suspect they are somehow back focused. Nothing spectacular, but I would not call this crappy. _________________ Orio, Administrator
