The Flek has the same design as the Prakticar, so it ends up on 5th place!
Razz *duckandcover*.

No, just kidding! I guess the Flek was no longer sold in 1989 as a new lens...

I used to read Color Foto wen i Lived in Germany,

They would never test a lens that is out of production.

I was biding on ebay for a Pentax FA* 24/2 but it went to expensive for me (465 euro). Any sugestions for a good one between 20 and 24mm with 2.8.

That's why I like to read the old magazine issues. There you can read something about the old lenses...
