Sure, their prices are silly compared to their M42 counterparts.
Only thing that botheres me is their build quality. I've never have one, because most of them looks fragile and sloppy even on photos (odd rubber rings, etc.). Is this true or not? |

I collect PB Zeiss as they are such good value, I don't have them all (yet) but those I do have - 1.8/50, 3.5/135, 2.4/35 are among by favourite lenses. I will add the 2.8/20, 1.4/50, 2.8/50, 1.8/80 and 2.8/200 eventually.
The Pentacons are worth collecting too, not quite as good as the Zeiss but still fine lenses, I have them all as they are so cheap. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

I recently bought a pb flektogon 2.4/35 for something like 60 euros (1/3 of the m42 version, roughly), and I was extremely surprised by the incredible quality of the coatings - easily the best among non western zeiss lenses of this age that I own, and build quality, which is absolutely on par with good Japanese brands of the time: it had some oil on the blades, but it's easy to clean and it happens with brands with good reputation for build quality. For the pentacons, i tried the 28/2.8, the 50/1.8 and the 135. Not bad, but the 135 is the only really interesting one imho. _________________ C&C and editing of my pics are always welcome
