Do your copies have problems with mechanical parts? like, focusing stiff, "hesitating" iris, etc.

I believe that a pre-zebra version of Flek 25 exists, with all silver barrel. But I'm not sure.

I have two 4/20 - one with the dimpled focus ring, and the zebra one you see here. The one with the dimpled ring is cosmetically mint but the focus isn't as smooth as it should be, although in all honesty, the lack of smoothness is very very slight. The lens barrel on the zebra one here has a bit of play although again, it's not severe and possibly just needs the focus helix regreased. The 4/25 is mechanically fine but tends to suffer from flare. The aperture is snappy on all three lenses but more importantly, the glass is spotless.

I think the 4/25 may predate the 4/20 hence the possible existence of a silver example, although I can't be certain of that.

I am. The 25mm does pre-date the 20mm and so you are entirely correct.

I'll be interested to see images from Attila's 25 regarding any flare/lack of contrast issues.

You can see guys here. I didn't use any shade, it was bright sunny day.

Nothing wrong with that Attila.

And as always, nice straight lines at the edges.

Can't beat a Flektogon Wink

Yes Flektogons rock! But this one more than others - it looks to me like it has the same image quality as the Flek 4/20.
I can see no flare - and no distortion either except for the angle-induced one. And I can see the typical definition of the Flek 4/20: well detailed, but not so sharp that hurts the eyes. The image remains smooth and pleasing, yet, it tells everything it needs to tell.
Lovely, lovely lens!!

Thank you guys! I have no much clue about wide angle lenses I just collect one copy from each. I will continuously looking the Hungarian market and I will tell you if I found again an another copy.
