Anybody else think that looks like a reversed Sonnar sandwiched between two ends elements?

For comparison here is the Takumar 58mm F2 Sonnar:



Just remove the two end elements of the 8-element Super Takumar 1:1.4/50 and turn it around. Voila! Looks like a Sonnar to me.

I'm not sure, the original Sonnar (50/1.5 ~1932) had 7 elements already



But yes, it is a modified Double Gauss design

There is a lot of good info on the 50/1.4 in this page
