Found my Pentac F8 f2.9 and it looks better to my eye than the last time I looked, 7 years ago. Cleaned the elements, they were oil coated. No brown.
And I finally noticed the front OD element has a tiny screw on the OD smack dab in the thread locking the thread.
Before I remove that screw and try SF, i will shoot as is. This is the brass version with a screw hole in the rear threads perhaps to secure a filter.

14A/3385 with arrow for rear direction on front OD
N2 VV.183886 Smooth operating aperture
1612 grams with fixed attached flange. Perhaps OE wood box, been it that box decades.
