Hello,
I want to add a 35mm lens for a Praktina. There are not much to choose - the two most common and the two in question are the Zeiss Jena Flektogon 2.8/35 or the Meyer Primagon 4.5/35. They pop up every now and then on ebay and tend to be in the same price range.
Which one would be the best choice regarding picture quality. I know those lenses exist in different mounts and if there is someone who will share his/her experience I would appreciate this.
Speed isn't an issue. If I want to shoot low light I won't thake the Praktina. |

As far as I know there are only two 35mm lenses from East Germany.
I have seen one Schacht Ulm lens as well but I wouldn't consider this. |

the flektogon should be better (and it's faster too) |

I have no experience with these lenses on FF, but Primagon has sharper center and lower CA at (APS-C) borders.
