    Strength:

    leightweight, cheap

    Weakness:

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

    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.

    Strength:

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

    Weakness:

    Small max aperture will black out the split image rangefinder.

    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!
