Hi Marnie,
The Zenitar is a great lens, not only for the price. It does
show a wonderful color rendition and a very good sharpness (when
stopped down, of course). The flare control is *almost* on the
same league of a SMC lens. Well built, although you may
experience sample variations. When I travel I always have it in
the bag, just in case. I regret a lot when I forget to bring it
with me.
Think that when I lost almost all my equipment (stolen, eight
years ago) the first lens after the 50mm and 100mm I wanted to
buy again was the Zenitar.
About the distorsion, a fish eye is simply a lens not corrected
wrt this... Every full frame fish eye of the same FL will show
more or less the same distorsion.
Hope this helps.
Ciao,
Gianfranco
