Very similar to CARENAR 1.8/50 (double Gauß design 6/4)
++ good colours,
++ nice bokeh
++ very few CA's wide open , ,
+++ an excellent lens, stopped down to f 5,6 - f11 extremely sharp
my item is very clear in glass, high contrast at f5,6
Better coating as SUPER CARENAR. - but both well corrected an very sharp.

Bonjour,
I bought this lens over a year ago on a LBA whim ... it had very oily blades that would seize and/or move erratically. Finally found the time to clean ... my first endeavor here and it took some time, but learned a lot.
First post cleaning tests look promising and I'll conservatively rate as a "7" across the board with the promise to test further once the bright sunny spring weather arrives ... indoors tests seem "OK" for their limited extent.
Allez et à plus tard, John le Frog
Below are additional photos of this lens ...
