I received this one today, together with the Pentacon 24mm.
Took some quick snapshots inside to test, it's really bad weather here right now... but results look good to me, so looking forward to better weather!

All pics wide open, unfortunately the crop is a bit noisy, but you can see it's quite sharp wide open. MFD is 18cms, and it goes to infinity at 2mtrs.

The lens:

I took it out for some more "playing around". This is a keeper, imho it is a good lens. The following pictures are UNprocessed, all i did was convert from RAW to jpeg. The weather was not on my side... so only one picture outside, it was a grey day, taken at f/8. The inside pictures are all shot at f/4 (wide open on this one), handheld, no flash, ISO100.

Looks good to me!

Enna is a funny company - early lenses had mediocre optics in nice barrels, late lenses had excellent optics in mediocre barrels.

Thank you!

Indeed it is plastic.... but that doesn't make it bad. I have heavy, metal built lenses that are total crap.

I did try too this lens, closer distance is great stunning sharp at close-up even wide open, infinity performance is acceptable.

Propellor: you made me look back at the picture, lol! Thanks!

You don't see these lenses to often for sale, there's one on the bay, made me say "WOW" about the price... I hope you are getting it cheaper than that proce as well!

I also had a copy. Like the other Enna lenses I had it had nice center performance but bad extreme corners. I liked it anyway, nice character, unique colors. I did regregt selling the Enna lenses I had.

Pentacon 24 mm? Never heard about.
Are the testshots film, ff or crop?
What parasoleil is on the camera next to the Praktica SuperTL?

Eugen: shots were made on Sony crop camera.

Yes, Pentacon 24mm. Japanese made, i think Sigma:

The lenshood on the Kodak came with the camera, as far as i can remember there wasn't a brandname on it, i don't have it anymore.

Thank you for your answers.
I never heard about that lens, never found it in literature. Could be you made a discovery. I would like to see how it performs on film.

I have the Retinette myself and thought about getting a lenshood for it. It's difficult to find anything in this thread diameter these days.

I recently bought the 24 mm Enna macro by mistake. (It is the Porst incarnation and was offered as 24/1,4.) Way too expensive, at least I hope it will perform ok.

I have the lens and had been satisfied with it at crop DSLR. For example it had been taken by Samsung NX11:




However I was disapointed to discover, that it blocks the mirror at Canon 5D. I had some hopes for it on the FF camera. Sad

I did try that lens today upon Samsung NX30. Will try to present more photos later. Discovered, that it is not so bad, but nothing especial. However, there it does the very good job at the night photos:
