Your take on CZJ Flektogon 50mm f/4.0 - Zebra Version

[baachitraka]

After acquiring CZJ Sonnar 180mm f/2.8 zebra version, I am based to zebra versions of any lenses from the same manufacturer.

I'm slowly building the Pentacon Six system and willing to add Flektogon 50mm f/4.0 to it now and would like to hear you take on it.

Yes, filter is massive apart from that how is the image quality when stopped down?

Best of the four lenses I had for the Pentacon 6 system when I had it. When I sold traded the kit for lighting gear at Ken Hansen's in New York in the early 1990s, they said they took the kit mainly for the 50mm Flektagon. The other lenses I had, as I recall were like an 80mm, 150mm, and 300mm, all CZJ.

I like it a lot, too. I use it with Kiev 60 and have four lenses, Flektogon being the sharpest, although my Russian lenses are not bad at all.
