Nice comparison. I have the pancolar and the minolta. I really like my pancolar. Its obviously been well used but not abused. The zebra stripes are a bit worn, there are numerous scratches and dings on the barrel, its been on and off of cameras so much most of the chrome is gone from the mount. But the aperture is the smoothest of any of my CZJ lenses and the aperture is perfect, and the glass is unblemished. A great lens as a user. Not worried that I will degrade the value when I take it out. I must confess I have only shot with the Minolta 1 time. I have several faster normal MD and MC's so after an initial test it got relegated to the shelf duty. I don't have any Zenitar lenses but from this test I can see why people like them. The bokeh on all three is very nice and very close to each other.
