I don't have a Kowa 50/1.9, but do have the F/2 and F/1.8 models, and am pretty sure the 1.9 would be similar. The rear element is noticeably smaller for the Kowa lenses than for the Miranda (Kowa made) lenses. Presumably this is because of the Kowa SE series cameras' leaf shutter mechanics needing a fairly narrow rear lens arrangement.

Many thanks Alun.
This lens is sharp at distance as well.
Here is a quick shot from this morning.
I was too busy to take more
