Thanks for these images! Prakticar 50/2.4 is quite rare, so it's not easy to find an example of its performance. These are really great!
I failed to find its optical diagram, but it's very uncommon design for a 50mm lens. Front optical group has 3 separated elements and rear consists of single element. 111-1 ... could be simple ernostar, but who knows

According to some, this one is 4 element lens. But I do not know its optical
design, only made for Practicar B mount cameras I guess.

I can't prove it, but I think the info isn't correct. At least my version (metal focusing ring) seems to be 4/4, not 5/4. I can't find anything what would look like cemented doublet. Flashlight test shows six colored reflection in front group (= 3 separated elemens) and two colored reflections in rear group (= 1 element). Cemented surface would show 1 white reflection, but I can't see any...
Tessar formula should be the 50/2.8 prakticar.

I ever suggest in some forums to use this metod to know how much elements have the lenses, but sometimes when there are cemented elements, the reflection correspond to them is very small and can't see easily.

no-x is RIGHT...
I have taken the lens in a bits today and there are definitely 4 elements:
See the picture:
3 GLASSES are on the left side and 1 elements (REAR) remains in the barrel -- it wasn't necessary to take it out of the barrel:

Could you describe shapes of the elements (convex/concave)? Is it like this?

so it;s ALMOST identical except the REAR element -- the curvature on the Prakticar rear glass is in red colour..
so PRakticar 2.4/50 = definitely 4 elements

Did you succeed? I remember doing Pentacon M42 500mm and standard tools were to small so i had to find some extra parts just to open the top.
Superb results there with Prakticar!

I know this is an old thread, but please -- how did you disassemble the PB 50/2.4? I ask because the focusing ring on mine is dented, and it looks as if I must remove the ring in order to pound it back into shape. But I see no points to attack! No screws, nothing that comes apart with my hand-pressure. How do I start disassembling this? Thanks!
