Very nice it is! It shares the optics with the Novoflex Noflexar 35mm from what I could find out.
Great portraits of your (pretty) wife Lars!

Beautiful lens and photos.
Dynamic range is just perfect.

Looks surprisingly good, weren't Paxette lenses supposed to be meh... I am not sure if it's the lens, the light, or the man behind the camera to blame Wink

Looks pretty impressive. I currently can't find any on Ebay Sad
I have the Noflexar 35/3.5 and had noticed a slight flare issue and an haze/contrast issue if air isn't clear (maybe due UV-leackage)
Did you use a hood?
It's very sharp and contrasty but has weak corners (soft, slight CAs) on 1.5x APS-C on wider aperture than F8
I guess not an issue at all on 2x crop or for macro- and close-up-work though, only for landscape

You can have one for a paltry sum of 410 Euros Click here to see on Ebay.de. She will even bring two friends with her Wink

These Braun Paxette lenses can still be found cheap because there is only a few people bidding on them.
Most of them have average IQ (which is good for the price IMO) Very Happy

Yes, they are cheap, I always ignored them because the IQ was poor, but this one looks very good.

These are probably the best shots ever made with it. I mean ever.

Yes, I have a Chinese Leica look-alike hood that fits many of my m39 lenses.
These was by the way shot in RAW with om-d and developed in PS. There is no sign of soft corners with the OM-D. Wink

Do you have a picture of the Noflexar? Surprised

Well, I try my best. As I said before, Paxette lenses are not top notch, but They are not the worst either IMO Wink

My copy is identical with this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmM8wBcEMpo
Big difference is that the Noflexar allows to focus up to 7cm

Wow, that's a cool lens. Really neat how you drag it out to get macro Very Happy
Another lens to look for Wink

They (Noflexar 35mm) have gotten rather expensive these days, esp. in M42 mount (Exakta is cheaper)

Here a few pics from my Novoflex (Exakta Mount):

You could easily pimp the Lineogon-version with an macro focusing helicoid adapter

Interesting. The Noflexar is a highly contrasty macro lens that I love. the preset aperture is very quick & confortable to focus, then to shoot.

Is this lens to use on Leica bodies?
I accidentally sold it on ebay as a lens for the Leica.
A seller wrote me that Leica is not intended
Thanks so much for your help Very Happy

No it's not possible to use it directly on Leica rangefinder cameras
