I have just purchased a Praktica camera kit locally and I am after some information on the following lens:

CZJ 135/3.5 sn 152728
CZJ 35/2.4 Flektogon auto sn 99492
aus Jena 50/2.8
Pentacon auto 50/1.8

All are in excellent condition, which are worth keeping?

First is the "Sonnar" - should provide very good results
Second is a very sought-for lens which can be very good performer
Third is the classic "Tessar" design, a standard lens (i.e. cheaper one) but can be good (maybe weak corners on full frame)
Fourth is the cheaper Pentacon alternative to the Zeiss Jena Pancolar, the former Meyer Oreston, six lenses in four groups. Creamy bokeh, center sharp, good for close ups, very sharp all over the image circle at ƒ8 and higher.

As Attila said: try them, all are M42 and easy to interchange!
