I took these shots today. This lens can focus quite close. Up to under one foot.

Not much more one can wish from Nifty Fifty. Bravo.

Lovely. Great colors. That is the renamed Meyer Orestor version, is it not?

Thank you! Yes this is the later, renamed version of the Meyer Orestor, I think with better coatings.

I have this lens, picked it up just before Christmas for £10-00.

I've not used it yet, as I have read some indifferent reviews (I know I shouldn't listen to reviews !)

You pics are excellent, so I need to try it out.

Do you have a method of converting serial number to year of manufacture and being able to tell it's history. I am sure I read somewhere about these maybe originating from the Zeiss factory in West Germany ?

I used this lens a lot.

Very happy with it in B&W and portraits .

The pancolar 1,8/50 have more contrast and is a bit sharper too.

Both very nice lenses.

And the images in this thread are very well taken.

Thank you.
I took these photos a while ago, but I use this lens from time to time.
It is a nice lens.
