Sonnar-like bokeh. But I don't think this is a sonnar

Hugo Hahn design originally, sold to the Soviets before WWII. More likely it inspired Bertele's Ernostars than the reverse.

Hexagonal aperture shows, but it's not unpleasant IMO.

Reviving old post.

@Caspert, does or did your Kalejnar's back element have scratched coatings? I know this is a common problem in these lenses. Is it a good decision cleaning the old coating completly?

Thank you.

I don’t have the Kalejnar anymore; mine didn’t seem to have scratched coating. Personally, I wouldn’t worry too much about it, and leave it on.

Thanks for the chance to say "good-looking ranunculus too!" (or is it ranunculii) Smile I agree really nice bokeh!

I saw a lot of Kaleinar-5N with cloud/haze on the rear element, not scratched.

Was this fixable/cleanable? Thank you.
