Thanks for sharing! Are those wide-open shots?

All wide-open, yes. Good, clean lenses. I made multiple shots, here only best fit focus are selected.

I love mine MC Pancolar 50/1.8 copy. Yours samples explain why are those such gems.

The MC is easily the best at naked eye.
Your zebra one has a terrible yellow cast. I used to own that lens and I don't remember it being so yellow (or yellow at all).
Would be nice to see the trio focused on a closer object (like 3-5 meters).

With naked eye you mean without looking at the big versions? They tell the opposite story for me: corner to corner sharpness is much better for the zebra in both shots. The MC is more blurred at the borders and has significant vignetting, whereas the zebra shows almost none.
The roof and edge of the forest on the left look much better on the shots by the zebra. Only the tree doesn't seem to be sharp on the zebra shot somehow...

On what camera were these taken? Crop/fullframe? On my 5D my MC Pancolar (serial 1897) the corners and border sharpness is very bad at f/1.8.

ZEBRA has better contrast in my opinion, same sharpnes/detail as MC. plus I love the colour. I hope WB is constant in all fotz..
