Nice results from a really old lens. Particularly like 1 and 4, and the daisies shot is a very interesting angle, thanks for sharing!

1,2 & 4 for me, lens shows a lot of character. I agree about the pop in image 1, looks good and sharp too, thanks for sharing.
FWIW, I've liked all the Meyer lenses I've seen so far I think.

Thank you all, for your keen eyes , and nice comments. I am starting to love this lens more as the days go by. I have a hairline to shave or adjust to get to infinity~which I have not attained on this lens yet. I am assuming that I will get great sky , landscape , or night scape shots, once I do- I am working on it . |

Primagon is the sharpest Meyer early-postwar/alu lens. And sharpness is combined with near-APO performance, which is not typical for many lenses, especially retrofocal with only 4 optical elements.
Great captures

I did not know that, and I am excited to hear that- I think it is a keeper for sure. Thank you. |

Well, compared to Lydith 30/3.5, Helioplan 40/4.5, Primoplan 58/1.9, Primoplan 75/1.9 and Trioplan 100/2.8 this is really the sharpest one. Maybe Trioplan 50/2.9 has sharp center, but corners are softer than with Primagon
