How does this lens perform? Judging by this small picture it looks a bit weak in the corners, or? |

Looks good to me. Plus the corner details aren't at the same distance as the subject focused on, so who can say? |

The general consensus is that the 65mm Flektogon was one of the weakest preforming lenses available for the P6 system. This may have been a reason why production did not continue into the MC versions, but that's only speculation. |

Oh come on who care corners on and old rare lens , no idea. |
Well, if you are just collecting it and have it sitting somewhere on a shelf, then fair enough. But if you actually want to use it a lot for shooting pictures, then resolution is important. |

Buy more common 50mm f4 , that is surely will enough. _________________ -------------------------------

I don't understand that reasoning. The 50mm was out already. The difference in focal length is like the difference between a 28mm and a 35mm lens on 135 film. It's like saying "I have a 28mm, so all 35mms are pointless." Plus, the 65mm Flektogon is a full stop faster. |

The 65mm is a rare lens, but the 50mm is wide open optical much better! I would definately choose the 50/4 Flektogon! |

The angle of view difference between 28mm and 35mm is huge, much bigger than what the numbers would suggest.
A 35mm lens is a more universal lens because it lets you take both portraits and landscape.
The 1 stop faster speed is a further proof of the vocation of the 35mm lens to replace in many cases the standard lens 50mm
A 28mm lens is useable only for landscapes. Sure, you can get very close to a person and take a portrait of him/her,
but the distortion of the facial features would make it look ugly.
Whether the 65mm Flektogon was a weak performer or not, I can not tell (I never used one).
I have the 65mm MIR lens and it's excellent, but I don't know if it's a copy of the Flek or not. _________________ Orio, Administrator

I don't believe the Mir-38 that you have is a copy. The older Mir-3 on the other hand does appear to resemble the 65mm Flek design more closely. I imagine it can't be a direct copy, however, since the speed is different. |
