Very nice!

I have the 1º Pentacon version of this lens. It´s a good performer in middle and short distance focusing. Focused at infinity their sharpness decreases significantly.

I am encouraged by your results. I have just obtained one of these lenses on a Praktica and look forward to trying it out properly at the weekend on a K110D.

Nice shots! Especially #2.
A lens like this is on "Swedish Ebay" now. Meyer lenses usually go very cheap.

The seller forgot to mention the mount. Is it likely to be M42?

I most often see this lens in M42 and Exakta mount. In fact I don't think I have seen it in any other mount. Wasn't there a PB mount lens of this focal length once? Maybe it's the same design?
