CZJ PRAKTICAR (Flektogon) 35mm F2.4 Dismantle/Adapt for 5DII
I repeated the series later, with the sun directly into the lens. I really expected the coatings of the Prakticar to show their weakness here. Well judge for yourself:
Prakticar 35/2.4 @ F8
Canon FD 35/2.8 @ F8
Contax 35-70/3.4 @F8
I\'d say it held up pretty well!
I took several series with the sun into the lens. In each the Contax was just a little clearer, (ah, those T* coatings!), but the only way I could identify between the Prakticar and the Canon FD (without checking the numbers), were the specular flares present with the Canon. In some the Prakticar looked clearer than the Canon, vying with the Contax.
In all the series I never noticed any CA.. but then I didn\'t test right at the edges, wide open. Certainly there wasn\'t any in the centre when focussing wide open.
