Pros: Sharpness, versatility

Cons: none, for the use I make of it

Opinion: Bought second-hand in 1986, fifty thousand lire, I used it for some time on the Minolta MD. Together with the Kodakrome 25ASA films he gave me some lovely slides. After a long time spent in a drawer, I now use it mounted reverse on a bellows connected to a Canon R6MKII for extreme macro (approx 6.5/8x). If it does not extend too much, the bellows does not exhibit eciding aberrations.

Pros: fluid rings, light, sharpness, colors

Cons: mah none

Opinion: it's a beautiful lens to take with you. if you have an apsc you have the "perfect" focal point, the standard that is like a 42 mm as it was mounted in old analog. if instead you have a ff you have a 28 mm that you make us beautiful views without bending the stand with XD weight in 2. a f 2.8 is soft and so I only use it in some interior portrait. at f 3.5 it is already sharp enough and at f 4 it is sharp all over the frame. even for portraits around it's fine, of course you don't do the blurry but if you want to show where you were a minimum background we will have to put it:) so here it is useful on holiday when you do not want to give the image of the tourist with the classic "rifle" kit and useful for some internal portrait because it has an interesting focal point ...

Pros: Sharpness, soft rings but not too much

Cons: Chromatic aberration

Opinion: Bought from ebay in conditions again for only 25€, I must say that it surprised me not a little. The image quality is great, even at the edges, if you focus properly. Being a not excessively bright vintage 28mm do not expect bokeh or great depth of field, nor the absence of flares and chromatic aberrations. This is not a suitable lens for those with no experience with vintage goals and manual focus

Pros: Price, lightness

Cons: Low lens Quality

Opinion: Paid Little and nothing, 45 euros for 3 goals including him, gave me some special photos. So small that mounted on the 100d becomes almost a compact. Expect to try it on Fuji. I used it almost mainly to close up and the result satisfied me. In my model sometimes presents in the bokeh of chromatic aberrations, but nothing exaggerated. The bokeh is normal, it's bad or nice. The colors are sometimes a little dull but today in camera raw is resolved quietly. Considering the price at which it is located I give an absolutely positive review to this lens.

Pros: Very cheap, bright, fine-fluid fire

Cons: It tends to appear a flare in backlit and in the presence of strong light sources

Opinion: Essentially the game is worth the candle, it costs so little that is really worth to buy it if you need a wide angle (or a 56mm M4 / 3) on the cheap (20 €); in person is the lens I use most on my E-M10 and gave me much satisfaction even in light conditions scarsa.rnrnUnico problem that I report, you must be careful when shooting against the light or light sources like lamps or whatever , it tends to appear a flare on purple.
