Pentacon Prakticar 50mm f/1.8 MC

Pentacon Prakticar 50mm f/1.8 MC - Good Condition | Classic East German Standard Prime in Praktica B Mount

The Pentacon Prakticar 50mm f/1.8 MC is a capable and well-built standard prime from VEB Pentacon Dresden — a sharp, fast, and characterful East German optic that delivers natural and pleasing image quality with the characteristic rendering of the DDR optical tradition. The MC (Multi-Coating) designation reflects the advanced multi-layer coating applied to all optical elements — ensuring improved contrast, accurate colour rendition, and strong resistance to flare and ghosting. The BM (Bayonet Mount) Praktica B designation indicates full electronic compatibility with Praktica B mount bodies for automatic diaphragm control. In Praktica B mount, it pairs naturally with the full range of Praktica B mount film bodies and adapts effortlessly to modern mirrorless systems via adapter. Serial number 0110642.

Key Features

• 50mm focal length — classic standard perspective for portraits, street, and everyday shooting
• Fast f/1.8 maximum aperture for excellent low-light performance and pleasing background separation
• MC (Multi-Coating) for improved contrast, colour accuracy, and flare resistance
• Praktica B mount — compatible with all Praktica B mount film bodies and mirrorless via adapter
• Electronic diaphragm coupling for automatic aperture control on compatible bodies
• Manual focus operation with smooth, well-damped focus ring
• Solid all-metal East German construction of the highest quality

Condition Report

• Body: Good condition — light marks consistent with age and use, no cracks or damage to barrel or mount
• Optics: Elements clean and clear — no fungus, haze, or significant dust; MC coatings intact
• Mechanics: Focus ring operates smoothly and precisely; aperture blades clean and snappy; mount clean and secure

"The Prakticar 50mm f/1.8 MC is one of those East German lenses that consistently surprises photographers who give it a chance. The multi-coating makes a genuine and visible difference to contrast and colour rendition, and the f/1.8 aperture gives you a beautifully rendered out-of-focus background at portrait distances. A solid and capable standard prime from Pentacon's respected Prakticar lineup."
