Hi John, I don't own and haven't used the Zenitar but I would be very surprised if it was a good as its Pentax equivalent. The Pentax A16/2.8 Fisheye is a very sharp lens with extraordinary contrast, very good flare performance and very high quality build. Of course its price reflects this, I had two, I sold the last one last year via eBay, it reached US$430, and was still a bargain IMHO.
