This is lens is supposed to be a low cost lens from Meyer that uses the Tessar design. I must say for a "low cost" lens, Meyer certainly set the standard very high. Besides, did I say it does look really cool? 
It's a preset and unlike other Meyer lenses, it has only 6 blades and weights 130g.
Here are the images of the lens itself.

There's also a Primotar E 50/3.5 with automatic diaphragm; I have used it for many years (on film of course) and it is very satisfactory. |

This is definitely better than the Domiplan, which is one of the worst lenses from Meyer.

Dr.volkan, Your results with a Domiplan in close focus are very good. Is your copy that good in larger distances like landscape too?
I have one, but cannot properly test it on digital without an adapter with flange to push the aperture pin as it doesn't have a A/M switch. You make me curious! |

Well maybe I should give Domiplan another try. I have a couple that are collecting dust at the moment
My early tests with them showed very bad CA and poor IQ.

Being a much simpler design the Domiplan can excel in close-up situations; try it on extension tubes or bellows (but not with close-up supplementaries) and you can see that it can be even better than a Pancolar. But for distance work, it might run out of puff, of course.
Still, the individual sample's condition would be a key factor in the determination of its performance. |

Apart from the optical design, the poor assembly of Domiplan can induce copy variations: the rear elements is hold solely by three screws.

Is the Primotar a Tessar-like built lens in 4 elements? Or still more complex? |

The Primotar is a Tessar-type lens, Meyer traditionally called its three-element triplets Trioplan, and the Domiplan was named to be in an early family consisted of Domiron, Domiton, etc. |

According to http://www.praktica-users.com/lens/mlenses/mpri2.8_50.html it is 4 elements, 3 groups
