I bought it, and must say that I was surprised. It performs very good wide open with quite nice contrast and sharpness. OK, maybe not as super-sharp as SMC-K 135/2.5 but still decent performer for its price - definitely better than many of today's zooms!
P.S. I can find some somples for you. Scanned from negatives (iso 400 and 160) so they don't show every detail as slide would do, bu still should give you an idea of how this lens performs in praktice. -- Best regards Sylwek
