Pretty impossible mission to find out which one for sure. Orio did it already best CZ vs some Russian. I wasn't sure at all which one is.



I guess second is Macro lens.

first is better, must be the macro

The second string shows more glare/glow. It's typical for Pancolar at f/1.8, but I have no experience with macro Planar, so it's only my poor tip Smile

Thanks guys for looking Smile

Here is the result promised to be announced today Smile

1. picture was taken by Carl Zeiss Makro-Planar 2.8/60

2. picture was taken by Pancolar 1.8/50 Aus Jena -- (zebra version)

I would add -- I bought Pancolar because of Attila's reference ! Smile -- It's an excellent glass...

Both pictures at f/8 + flash -- hand held ... sharpness in camera at level 0 -- It was adjusted in Light Room -- no too much..

I noticed this thread just now.
I usually play with these threads they are fun Smile
I played this too and did not cheat - I did not read in advance - and I guessed right Cool

1 is Pancolar
2 is contax
because I feel (2) get clearer in edge than (1), and (2) get more color.

Even after seeing the result, I still cannot tell the difference. Surprised

Quite a performance from the Pancolar, given how close it is to the Makro Planar, which is well known for its sharpness and other attributes. When price goes into the equation..... Shocked

Wow. Very close IQ.
Without looking at postings before, I'd say 1st Planar 2nd Pancolar

PS: Dang, I've been folled aswell. Impressive Pancolar!

So very close!!

I don't have any of these lenses, so there is no chance for me to tell.
I guessed that the second one was the Macro-Zeiss, because I thought I saw a tiny bit more details. But then, I would not have bet on it. Wink

Pancolar is a terrifis lens IMO, i have one and it's the most used manual lens in my cabinet (even though i cannot reach to infinity)

Nice Stan!

without further reading, #1 MP, #2 Pancolar, I have noticed the tiny yellowish color cast and a different FOV Smile
