Pros: Weight, colors, price

Cons: aging of the optical treatment, stiffening of the barrel oil if it has been stopped for a long time

Opinion: Lens bought at 120, used on Canon A1 and Sony A7IV. On Sony you can really understand the work that has been done in terms of colors. It has dominances tending to orange and green, probably designed to work together with some of the most popular films in the 70s. It has a pleasant blur (not very soft but you know), the slight softness of these lenses combined with a warm tendency leave room for particularly interesting photos, which are very reminiscent of film, with its strengths and weaknesses, such as vignetting at 2.8, purple fringing and dominant flare if you shoot with cross-beam lights. "Flaws" that give a bit of soul to otherwise perfect photos. Pretty.

Pros: Small, light, easy to handle, quite solid and well built, very sharp and with a good homogeneity of performance between axis and edges, and also a contained distortion.

Cons: It is a simple lens with an absolutely normal brightness, these are its limitations which are also the consequence of a cheap price, so they cannot be considered cons!

Opinion: I have owned it for years but I have always used it little since I rarely go below the 35 mm focal length, also for this reason at the time I did not buy the 24/2 which on the contrary is an excellent lens but, precisely for this reason, also much more expensive and therefore fully enrolled in the "Club of Five f 2" of the FD System. Ultimately it is a lens that I would recommend precisely because, overall, it is a good compromise in terms of performance... and then on film it goes very well.
