My copy was redesigned for Nikon F mount, the ability to focus to infinity is preserved. Pentacon Prakticar 1.8 / 50 is interesting for its rubberized focusing ring, which rotates 360 degrees and a minimum focusing distance of 33 cm. The image quality is at a high level. The lens has interesting bokeh.

The parameters shown in the photo gallery:
Everything is filmed on Nikon D700 using protective filter Hoya 49mm UV (0) Japan. On-camera JPEG L ('optimal quality' compression). Functions: vignetting control, ADL, noise reduction at long exposures, noise reduction at high ISOs were turned off. All shot in Picture Control mode SD (standard mode): contrast correction - 0, brightness - 0, saturation - 0, hue - 0, sharpness - position 5 between 0 and 9. Used white balance 'Mainly cloudy'. The size of the photos was reduced to 3 MP. How to use old lenses on modern Nikon cameras read here.

  • d.martyn

    A decent option (clone), the picture and bokeh really liked. It looks like Helios-81N and the design and pattern.

  • R'RёS,R ° F "RёR№

    Thanks for the review. Bokeh is interesting.

  • Ampels

    It’s a pity that the rear end remains behind the scenes, it would be no less interesting to watch it

  • Dmitry

    Question to Arkady:

    In your opinion, which lens is better than the MC Pentacon Prakticar 1: 1.8 f = 50mm or the CZJ MC Pancolar 1: 1.8 f = 50mm?

    And anyway, can you see any difference between them? ..

  • Sergei

    I am facing a lens choice, which one to choose?
    MC Pentacon Prakticar 1: 1.8 f = 50mm
    or
    Helios 81H
    Reviews of both watched. Love the Pentacon bokeh.
    It remains to decide what.
    I have a Canon 550d

  • Left Ivan

    Everyone who wants to take off a photo of the shank. Although this is a regular (Chinese) adapter M42 / Nikon. Pentacon liked more.

    • Jury

      Is the adapter wound onto the bayonet or the bayonet itself is removed and is there an adapter instead?

  • Vladimir

    Arkady, tell me how to remake it for Nikon F while maintaining infinity?

  • Marina

    Tell me how different is this lens from Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f / 1.8D?
    Can Pentacon replace Nikon's lens? thanks

    • Arkady Shapoval

      The main difference is automatic focusing. Cannot replace.

      • Marina

        Thank you, but in the quality of the photo (sharpness, color saturation, etc.) is much inferior to Nikon? I'm new to this business, so excuse me, perhaps, for a naive question

        • Arkady Shapoval

          Altogether inferior. Modern lenses are much better in almost every way.

  • Novel

    What adapter is needed to install this lens on a Canon?

  • hello

    I understand that looking at the 10th river past, but having rubbed a German article on the tsikava. It appears that with high reliability this lens was manufactured at the Ontreprinderea Optică Română (IOR) in Bucharest. However, this topic has received little research.
