Built like the proverbial battleship and with a tripod collar that makes everything more recent look like toys, the optical performance isn't to be sniffed at either. The aperture has 23 blades! Bought on ebay for 67 euros, eight years ago. The two lower images are crops from the full frame. You can click on them to view them at 1:1 pixel scale. I've left the trace of CA in the upper one just to show how little there is. Photo taken at the Arcelor steel mill in Dunkirk, France. K10D, Pentacon 4/300 mm, f11, 1/20 sec. Enjoy. Ralf =============== Nice. The small image on the blog is pixelated on my screen, so clicked on it for full image and it wasn't. Just so you know. Nice light.
