Pros: Character, color rendering, focal length, minimum focusing distance

Cons: Lack of sharpness at the edges and little clarity in the center

Opinion: It is a decidedly particular lens and its defects certainly make it its character. He has a very nervous and unpredictable blur, especially at close ranges. It is also not very sharp in the center and even with a rather small aperture. Its rendering is not very natural, nor neutral, which is why it becomes interesting for a particular look search. Pass me the term, for me it's a GRUNGE lens. I think it can also work very well in video, where you don't look for too much definition but character. Colors tend to be quite saturated. It is a lens that is worth having even just to play a little given the low costs.

Pros: Weight, dimensions, rings, sharpness in the center, minimum focusing distance

Cons: sharpness at the edges at open apertures

Opinion: Lens with which you can have fun, as long as you know well the pros and cons. I often use it a ta for set details, thanks to a good minimum distance of maf. It costs little and is worth giving it a try, to understand if you like it. Closing the aperture (from 5.6 onwards) the sharpness increases significantly throughout the frame and is useful for landscapes.

Pros: light, sharp, elegant, dial, infinite.

Cons: bad at the edges up to F4

Opinion: Paid 30 eurini and I must say it is worth all the money spent. I also like the yield, sharp at the right point. The ring is perfect, as I like it. Only flaw and that if you use it at F2.8 the edges on APSC are poor in detail, but if I'm doing a bokeh does not weigh me, if I'm making a picture set, the only solution is the CROP in PP. In landscape I find it great as well as in the street and reportage to such an extent that I sold the 27mm fuji to keep me this. The focus and scale of distances are perfectly where they need to be. I keep it attached to the XE2 that alter with the 135mm Leica Elmarit.

Pros: Great sharpness in the center, very good coating, made of pleasant, warm color, quality construction

Cons: FF edges of just (again, just ...) acceptable from 5.6 onwards, otherwise it is a massacre of details

Opinion: When I mounted the first time on my A7R I am horrified by the yield on the edge, really scary at the widest apertures, so much so that I decided to sell it immediately. Over time I changed my approach and I must say I'm glad I kept: in the center the yield is really good and, as has already MFvintageMaur wrote, is spectacular in the night. With a bit of cunning, also, you can circumvent the yield in the corners, while I do not pronounce on the blurry quality, appearance -sinceramente- not one of my priorities ...

Pros: Vintage lens with a character size of a planet. rnDoppia personality, at room temperature and has a blurred surroundings casinista.rnA diaphragms central nervous and turns crisp and contrasty landscapes allowing even complex. A DC gives its best in urban landscapes at night, thanks to an excellent coating. Excellent minimum distance of Maf.

Cons: Its use is preferred on APSC, to exploit the central part of the lens. At the edge of the image FF pulp

Opinion: Divertentissimo.rnMa goal, thought valid for all vintage lenses, you have to understand it and use it in terms more congenial to her, and that takes a little 'practice. It is no tuttofare.rnA because of the price relatively low-cost is ideal for those who want to approach the world and experience the vintage lenses most difficult and hard to gestire.rnUno hoot.
