I think my copy is not adjusted well for infinity I have to make an infinity test.

My copies are both not that sharp and lack contrast - it is amazing what you show here!!

Indeed - mine is not good either, in spite of being a very clean copy it is less sharp and contrasty than my visibly fogged 35mm Flektogon.

It is the same here, my copy is not very sharp at all and lack contrast too - so I think that you Attila seem to have gotten a very good copy! Or maybe I have not learnt that special secret trick of how to use this lens yet...

It's a really weird lens, sometimes it does what you want it to and sometimes it doesn't. The colours are pretty strange as well.

Edit: Forgot to mention this is the Pentacon version.

Usually I use them at F8 if I can, I was satisfied with all shoots taken with this lens except infinity shoots I think it can be sharper with more details.

I have it in exa mount

The main issue with this lens is weak agains strong light. Always flare.

IAZA, maybe the coating is different between Pentacon and Meyer Lydith versions as I found the problem in strong light not to be flaring but a massive contrast loss.
