Strengths:    leightweight, cheap

Weaknesses:    vignettes way too much to be a useful lens for 6 x 6 cm format.

Bottom Line:

I am very disappointed with this lens for my Pentacon Six, as it vignettes heavily wide open. Given that is an f 5.6, this is not acceptable.

Strengths:    Great resolution at all apertures. Light weight. Good construction.

Weaknesses:    Small max aperture will black out the split image rangefinder.

Bottom Line:

Really excellent lens. Very sharp, even wide open. Smooth focusing and aperture. I've not found the small maximum aperture to ba a problem for focusing, other than the split image in my Kiev 60 will black out. I also use it with a Contax 645AF and Kodak 645C 16 megapixel digital back, excellent results again!
