Sharpness: 7    Aberrations: 6    Bokeh: 10    Handling: 7    Value: 10   

I want to say upfront that I am giving this lens high marks based on price paid and creamy bokeh. Its a lens I would normally find difficult to use and therefore probably wouldnt attach it to my camera very often. It has very low contrast, but that seemed an easy fix for adobe lightroom. Has a minimum focus distance of 4-5 feet, very shallow depth of field. I changed my review to lower the score. I feel the handling of my sample isnt very good and with its low contrast i lowered some of the scores.

Sample pictures taken with Pentax K01 at F5.6 (not sure if focus was perfect even so)




Same lens, this time on a nikon D600 via adapter 6400 ISO, F8
