What do you mean .... 16c or 16d?
"16" simply refers to being suitable for 16mm equipment usage.
"C" or "D" is not a "Class", just a manufacturer's model reference.
The Proskar is a good quality lens, capable of adequate performance. No worse or better than many others (after all, an Audi, or a Ford,produces results as adequate, functionality-wise, as a Rolls Royce, with slightly less Snob Value).
