Best PETRI fifties #5. C.C. Auto 55mm f1.4. Does it really perform like the legendary Pancolar?

Описание: Ranked #5 in my top 5 Petri fast fifty vintage lenses.

This video examines claims that the Petri 55mm f1.4 is the fastest vintage f1.4 lens, and it renders like the legendary Carl Zeiss Jena Pancolar 55mm f1.4.

I discuss the lens's design, user experience and performance, and explain why I’d only rank it at number 5, out of my top 5 Petri fast fifties.
