I'm not surprised at all by the quality of these lenses. the people who built them knew they'll last many years, even decades. Great shots , and the famous beast in pic 2 ... lost the name Wink

Very nice, Attila, I should look for this in Exakta mount.

Unbelievable.

It is a very good example about the high standard of knowledge the engineers had 50-60 years ago - and this without any computer.

No. 2 and 4 my favorites.
