I have given one of those to a very good friend of mine.
Perhaps I can ask him to shoot some shots with it.

I thought that Pentacon 30mm 3.5 is the old Meyer Lidith en not the same as Pentcon 29mm 2.8 (old Meyer Orestegon). I know Praktica 28mm 2.8 electric (from Sigma) and another Praktica 28mm 2.8 that gives me no idea from where it comes. Maybe there more variations? |

Nope, it's different and smaller lens. Pentacon 2.8/29 = Meyer-Optik Orestegon 2.8/29 and Pentacon 3.5/30 = Meyer-Optik Lydith 3.5/30. I have both but don't use them. They have both same characteristics. Sharp center and very low CA, but soft corners, even stopped down to f11 on APS-C. Still the older Pentacon/Lydith 3.5/30 seems better to me. But both provide nice Meyer colors rendering. |

I've got one, and I've said before on the forum that I love the colour rendition, the colours really shine out from this lens.
But I have to agree with BRunner, there's a lot of softness going on.
I keep going back to it and trying it, I want it to give me good pictures, but ultimately it's a frustrating lens. Which is sad, there's 'nearly' a great little lens for very little money.
But sometimes it surprises me, this picture is straight out of the K10 with the Pentacon 30.

I don't have the Pentacon, but I do have the Lydith if that's what you were thinking of.
If the Pentacon is the same them it's a great lens and one of my favourites.

Great lens for near distance portraits.
Very sharp in the middle but has soft edges.
Good colour rendition, very smooth bokeh.
Sharp stopped down.
Very recommendable.
