Thanks Ecar!
I took many photos yesterday and did not had the impression that the lens flare excessive.
I have the original sun hood for both lenses and will conduct some tests when i will need them but i love sunballs and flares as long they are not excessive.

Mmm, I don't think either of those two hoods would fit the Sonnar...

Elmar 9 cm f4: he bought it used in photo store around 1956 and was told thats a pre WWII model

With the serial number 606xxx it was made in 1946 - though with the old sequel of f-stops and black paint it shows all features of a pre-war or wartime lens.

Then another mystery lens here, perhaps a pre war lens and someone used a after war front ring with the serial number?

I screwed off the front part and there is a hand written code around the ring saying: 89WStr.  DX. 6859 
No other serial number visible
The whole lens is brass, except the silver ring with the M39 tread, what looks rather newer than the rest of the lens, maybe a to M39 transformed lens?

Yes you are right, the two sunshades are for the collapsible Elmars on the two cameras, my bad
