from Second Hand Summary: I bought the latest version of this lens, second hand. Was a little wary after trying a Russian MTO lens of similar charactestics. Used it for taking pics of stained glass. Quite pleased with the results, but you will need a very heavy tripod for the lens and a monopod on the camera. You will probably also require a magnifier to assist focussing and you will need a cable release or the self timer. Strengths: Quite sharp, without being as sharp as a 50mm lens. Probably 40 to 50 lines per inch. No chromatic abberation.
Extremely well built. Weaknesses: Slight vignetting. Requires extreme care
in focussing and of course depth of field
is very small, so tilted surfaces may not be uniformly sharp.
The aperture is not that great, but you know this when you buy it. Similar Products Used: MTO 1000 mm f/10
600 mm Olympus.
