Pros: Solidity, lightness (300gr. + 100gr. of adaptor), sharpness on the entire frame, contained dimensions, beautiful to see, very low price, does not suffer from diffraction

Cons: Suffers a lot the flare so beware of backlight, rather dark also because it must be used at F16, scale focus on infinity does not precise must be determined through tests

Opinion: My serial number 8XXXXXXXXXX has a Sony a mount and I use it with the Sony A7 markII. My copy and on my Sony A7M2, it should be used with the maximum diaphragm closure then at F16 if you want to have the maximum sharpness even at the sides as well as the center. I use it in hyperfocal and on my The notch of infinity is not accurate. However it gave me so many satisfactions certain needs light because it is to be used at F16 to give the maximum, this an example: https://www.juzaphoto.com/galleria.php?l=it&t=3208494

Pros: Construction, reduced weight / footprint, sharpness, three-dimensionality

Cons: Vignetting (FF), backlight resistance, chromatic aberration

Opinion: Mechanically a jewel, I was positively impressed by the sharpness and the three-dimensionality of the image on d90 (field angle about 26mm equivalent). Compared to modern lenses, it produces less saturated colors and less contrast, easily augmented in pp to the right extent. A rare case in digital, it is very clear even to infinity. In some cases, in areas with very high contrast, it can be noted, with pushed magnification, contours tending to blue. In general, it improves by closing the diaphragm. I do not have digital FX, tried on film: you notice a bit of vignetting.

Pros: Versatility, sharpness in the center of the image, contrast (provided in favorable lighting), no excessive distortion (for a focal lens), mechanical construction.

Cons: Decay on edges (at least on FF), it suffers the backlight.

Opinion: I bought this lens a few weeks ago, for a hundred euros, Vivitar labeled with K. attack. I remember asking for advice on this, on a FB group dedicated to vintage lenses, where they had called it a "bottle bottom" Or little more, fortunately I was not discouraged! I use it with satisfaction on my A7R, always keeping in mind its faults and avoiding risk situations, especially the backlight. It gives the best of the central diaphragms, is well-built and gives the impression of solidity, in short a nice toy to approach very short focuses without spending billions of dollars.
