The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Open yield; image quality for portraits; mr Bokeh; smooth diaphragm ring; 15 slats; M42 screw attack; it is a pleasure to use them; solid construction; light enough.
Cons:it does not have automatic focus; is not 1.5; does not have a bayonet attack; doesn't have jerky iris.
Opinion:Very good lens to use per portrait. The M42 attachment makes it suitable to be used on all machine bodies with adapter. The only flaw is that you have to work in the manual, as for many other goals (leica, samyang and all vintage). So it's suitable for a slow and thought-out way of photographing, but it depends on how you're used to it. Not having the jerky diaphragm is very suitable for shooting videos, also and above all for the unmatched yield at the price you find. I have tried various models, with oil on the slats and not. They're fine. As usual if they have hard rings it is because they are vintage lenses and then: take them from a photoriparer that fixes them.
Pros:Small, light, very solid, 15 diaphragm slats, M42 screw bayonet
Cons:For a lens 30-35 years ago, no one
Opinion:A little giant of the portrait with the medium canvas. 15 diaphragm slats for an exceptional blurry, remarkable mechanical solidity, diaphragm locking mechanism in my opinion very intelligent for a manual lens, precise distance scale, small and light, very pleasant colors ... a vintage with bows in short. If they had told me That I would be so satisfied with it (and for more than an 85mm) maybe I wouldn't have believed it myself either. A f2 is very soft and splendid by portrait, but from f/2.8 already screams out an absurd quality (see photo), amazing for a lens of this cost (between 140 and 180 at the time of my review - November/December 2020). Another merit - for me - the M42 screw bayonet that makes it suitable for both SLRs (with the very thin adapter ring) and ML (with the one most often that fixes the pull) unlike the older "non MC" brother, who has M39 bayonet suitable only for ML (due to the fact that that was for telemetry machines, therefore without mirror, of the time).
