Although it is labelled 'Carl Zeiss Jena Prakticar' this is a Pancolar, the last of the line. My third Pancolar 1.8/50, the first was a single coated Zebra which was excellent, then an MC Electric M42 that was even better and now this bayonet mount Prakticar, which is perhaps even better again. Imho, it's the equal of it's western contemparies the Planars 1.7/50 and 1.8/50.

Seems like a nice lens and nice shots to show it. I did not realize this was a Pancolar and now I will also
keep an eye out for one as my Pancolar does not close down all the way. |

Glad you like it. It's an uncommon lens, I think I've only ever seen it on ebay 3 times, and 2 of those times, I bought it! The first time, I didn't realise how rare it was and passed it on to a collector to complete his collection, the second time I spotted one really cheap and of course, was keeping it for myself! Beware of the late model Pentacon 1.8/50s, they were labelled 'Carl Zeiss Jena P'and are not the same lens, they are merely the Pentacon with CZJ branding. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

Excellent pictures Ian. The lens has a nice 'clarity' to the colours.
Can you post a picture of the lens, I'd like to see if any of my CZJ's are Pancolar type. _________________ LENSES & CAMERAS FOR SALE.....
I have loads of stuff that I have to get rid of, if you see me commenting about something I have got and you want one, ask me.

Well spotted Dave, there is a clarity, which I put down to very good micro contrast due to the excellent multi coating.
I'll dig out my three Pancolars and take a pic.
In the meantime, here's a dodgy pic of this one.

I just bought a common Zebra not MC. My first impression is that this lens gives a strong 3D effect. I do not refer to the bokeh but to pictures with depth of field. |

Yes, my Zebra does that too, as does my MC version.
A couple of shots with the MC on my Sony a850 that I think show the effect:
