Silly, Disgusting, Sick - I don't know what to call it when you (yes you and not me) get a lens of that caliber for $3, wtf!
Originally posted by Philoslothical The Viv S1 and Lester Dine (they're two variants of the same lens) are also worth thinking about. I've also seen some nice shots taken with a Panagor 90mm.
Those two are worth a lot more than just a look, very few lenses out there perform as exceptional as those.
