#14 is brilliant  And the pig shot shows that you can still get tasteful bokeh with the more modern version of this lens. And the cat looks really great!

The same optic design with improved coating.

I assume you mean Prakticar. Well, at least more stable one. It's certainly more resistant to cleaning with ammonia solution then good old Pentacon M42. I guess more Zeiss Jena formula.

Enjoy it! There are few who went on a quest for better lens but at the end return to Meyer / Pentacon 135mm.
If you like shooting wide-open there is no need for buying expensive preset version.

I'm patiently waiting for my Vivitar 135mm f2.8 MC from the bay. I'll probably end up using both

My Meyer 135mm is a VG lens but inconvenient for general use when I can have auto wide open on a film camera......so my CZJ 135mm Sonnar is used (well until I find a better one going cheap  )
