Pros: mechanical construction - sharpness - bokeh - 12-blade diaphragm

Cons: Flare

Opinion: Excellent and cheap lens built very well; the main quality is in my opinion a very good blur, the main defect is a very strong tendency to produce flare as soon as there are strong lights in the frame (you don't need direct sunlight, but also for example a certain portion of light gray sky in the frame produces a visible haze), and mine is the MC version. Good sharpness already at TA, excellent at f/5.6. Be careful when buying the oil on the reeds (very frequent) because I have an idea that it worsens the internal reflections and therefore the flare. Highly recommended.

Pros: Construction, vintage flavor, sharpness, bokeh, flare, price

Cons: Dim

Opinion: My first vintage lens. Bought a couple of years ago and mounted on my Nikon D3500 it moved me from the first photo. Colors and dough with a vintage flavor impossible to find in modern optics. Amazing creamy bokeh and excellent sharpness even at 3.5. To point out, but I consider it a strength of the lens. The construction is of fine workmanship, completely made of metal with the focus ring that is smooth and pleasant to operate. The price is ridiculous, absolutely to be bought with your eyes closed.

Pros: All metal construction, small, elegant, sharp, great colors, smooth rings

Cons: Nothing for the price but manual focusing after years of autofocus requires some attention and adaptation.

Opinion: It cost me 65 euros including shipping from distant Russia. It arrived in a month perfectly packed. I use it on micro 4/3 with an adapter of about 10 euros bought in China that I also use for other vintage lenses. The lens I received is in perfect condition without any sign of wear, it looks new. The rings are fluid but hard enough and very convenient to use both for apertures (without shots) and for focusing. The lens is small even with the adapter and seems made especially for the micro 4/3, in my case the G80. It is very sharp, the colors are warm and the blurred very nice. It is good for portraits and flora thanks to the beautiful blurred but also for street and landscapes. Recommended without reservations.

Pros: Bokeh, sharpness, colors, construction

Cons: flares, flares, flares

Opinion: Removed the backlight flare also present with mounted lampshon, otherwise I fell in love with it, precise focus ring, nesting even at full opening to envy to newer designed, opening F 3.5 does not make it a very bright lens but, for my use it is more than fine, Bokeh amazing, I often carry it with me mounted on XT3 for my landscape outings

Pros: Sharpness, colors, 12-slat diaphragm, with continuous movement, smooth and precise focus ring.

Cons: It suffers the backlight and needs a light.

Opinion: Taken yesterday out of simple curiosity in the 1980 Moscow Olympics. The guy who sold it to me had built him a handcrafted lampshed done very well I would say, given the ease of assembly and efficiency. 12-slat diaphragm, excellent manual focus, precise and of the right fluidity. Out-of-focus light points always with perfect rims that you can't count the sides, at least up to F/8. Well, I wanted to compare it with two giants of the same focal length, zeiss apo sonnar 135 f/2 and sigma art 135 f/1.8. I would have expected, as is rightly reliable given the cost of the two giant (11 to 13 times the price of jupiter) a remarkable difference that was not in all respects. Saturated colors, high sharpness, pleasantly rounded blurry but with less detachment of planes and less open shadows. The home trials I did were a short distance away and at least in this situation the ugly duckling behaved very well, given the derisory market price I would give a nice 10 cum Laude.
