Hello everybody!!!!!
Since there is some discussion about the Pancolar performance, I'd like to give my small contribution.
This is made with an "aus Jena" zebra version, with a bad, bad, BAD rear element. Standard version, no "1Q", no nothing.

The camera is a -brrr- EOS 350D, that a collegue borrowed to me. Slightly cropped.

Looks fine to me!

Do you have a picture of the bad rear element?

Not yet, but I'd prefer to avoid, since it was my fault... Embarassed

The "aus Jena" ones were made in the GDR for export to the Western European countries and overseas. The Carl Zeiss Jena ones were made for the Eastern European countries. This was due to the fact the Carl Zeiss was split after WWII in the company in Oberkochen (renowned for the Contax and Hasselblad lenses) and the Company in Jena (M42 and Pentacon six lenses). Since Praktica cameras were saled in Western Germany and western Europe they had to rename the lenses.

Basically the "aus Jena" ones and the ones with Carl Zeiss Jena are the same. Quality control might have been better for the export versions.

wooops!
I've just noticed from the exif that the camera is a 400D, not a 350. Embarassed

Sorry but the camera is not mine, My colleague borrowed me for a photo sevice, and frankly I don't care so much abot the camera I handle.

I just needed a digital body, this was digital. Ok. done.
