| Description - | This lens was available in M42 and Exakta RTL mount, and has a longer helicoid which makes it physically longer and heavier than its f/2 predecessor. It followed the general pattern of evolution as the Meyer/Pentacon 1.8/50 as an alternative fast standard; the first version had bright fluting and from the start was available in both auto and electric forms. Also remounted in B-mount as the Carl Zeiss Jena Prakticar 1.8/50. |

Fish by Michael Linn Additional data: Camera: Praktica BX 20 Shot on Agfa Vista 400 Suinãs by Ricardo F. Martins No1. No2. Additional data: Camera: Praktica MTL 5 B Shot on: Kodak T-200 (cinema film, balanced for tungsten light) at 1/125s - f11 (not accurate) Flowers of a typical central region of Brasil trees, named "Suinã". These trees live on dry and hot areas being a natural refugee of some wild orchids. Their flowers only boom on a few days per year, just before the first rainfalls of the season, when all the leaves fall. It's a series of shots using a moving picture, tungsten light balanced film. It produces interesting effect, overenhancing magenta and blue colour rendition when used under day light conditions.
