Pros: Everything about this lens is perfect, if you understand that you are using Mir - 1

Cons: none

Opinion: This is my favorite lens, it is almost never of the camera (D700) It went through brutal surgery by me in order to make it focus on infinity with Full frame D700 and it works perfect! Do not compare it to Nikon, Cannon or Z...Just use it as Mir-1 and you will love it!Of course there is a bit of vignetting, coating could be better and half a milion other things, if you care aboute those things get something else. If you care to have pictures that you love, try this lens!

Pros: The overall yield

Cons: I can't get used to the double dial

Opinion: In use on Canon (aps-c reflex and ML) and aps-h - a welcome gift (I have many vintage optics m42 and C/Y) that on the first created me many problems - at the first tests, great blurring, although in the close-up pushed kneads a little - but maf maximum really too limited 5/6 mt - tried on a zenith body the problem improves but not by much - then I find that many have modified it x the macro (probably my specimen is among them) - tried in these days on Canon M6 and 200d with extension tube, gave away shots from the excellent detail

Pros: Construction, size, decent image quality

Cons: Yield in certain light conditions.

Opinion: Although I have possessed several "vintage" optics since the analogue, this was my first in the digital age. Compact optics but made with great care and good materials. Generally good, at full opening does not excel, but still acceptable. However, in some light situations, there is a sharp drop in contrast, with impaired photo, sometimes recoverable in pp, sometimes unfortunately not... I think it is due to the absence or poor quality of anti-reflective treatment. Ultimately, however, it is a reliable lens, at least in my experience, an interesting focus on both aps-c and full frame, and an absolutely acceptable optical rendering, considering also the price at which you can find it in the used markets.

Pros: Good construction, light weight

Cons: Little sharpness under F4

Opinion: I bought this lens enticed by the comments more than positive but frankly I expected more also because for the same figure you can take a HELIOS44M, which I have, and that is another world. It returns beautiful colors but I thought much better about bokeh. At the double dial you get used to it, but I thought he had a better deadlift than the picture I give him enough.

Pros: Dimensions, construction, sharpness 5.6

Cons: Coma up to f4

Opinion: I have taken this lens with many expectations, actually there are 3 different specimens, my version is the penultimate black, apparently not the silver version; however good colors, construction but this version suffers coma on the lights up to f4, crisp 5.6 onwards on apsc, good to f11, not bad even the star, I hope to try the silver version and be able to rectify As said.
