Ok, based on the hints I got from maxdance and HansAlbert, I was able to guess the place myself. It is a free turn now.

Ok, please have a guess (free turn if right):

Easy to answer yourself. 2 ways to do it: - shoot the same image (e.g. on a tripod tripod) "RAW + JPEG" and then with various JPEG quality settings -> the one where file size of the JPEG from "RAW...

I have not noticed such an issue with my A99 and a Helios 58/2 nor with any previous camera or other M42 lenses.
