I didn't miss my 50mm – most shots were perfect for the 35mm. If I needed more, than my 85mm did a good job – never missed a 100mm or even 135mm.
That lightning shot was really creepy – Thunderstorm came really quick above the sea. Didn't have a tripod so I just placed the cam on the ground. Pressed the shutter and that ligthning came down – really close – really loud – and yes, didn't feel comfortable...
Thanks for your comments.

Have fun with it – I love the MX.
This is now my fourth. Got it for cheap from the bay with that lovely M 35/2.8.
My first and second crashed on parties – my third one I gave away as a present with that superb 50/1.4.

Yes, it is a DF-3. Very simple construction but works really good. I'm gonna post some photos to the B/W section...

Found in a store in Munich. Works pretty good, makes fun and came with a nice Pentax strap. First two rolls of B&W film (one as 6x6 and one as 6x4.5) are shot and results are fine.

Agnostic: Nice shots out of that Kodak Retina IIIs – a camera that is missing in my collection.
Thanks for your comments.
hollywoodfred: I could get that close because they were in a deer-park and very interested in visitors.

Did some additional everyday testings:
All following photos post processed – jpg shots out of Canon 350D.
First of all its a nice close up lens. I like the blurry and a bit charcteristic out of focus feeling of it.
These shots taken with an additional close up lens.
Stopped down you can really call it a sharp lens (for a wide angle). For sure not the sharpest and adapted to my digital crop cam a bit hard to focus on infinity.
Again I didn't use a lens hood, without it produces a lot of lensflair.
So, I'll keep it, and I'll use it regularly. For me it's a nice fun lens with a bit of a own character. And for me as a "mostly prime lens shooter" it's a great new angle. A moderate wide angle on crop – a real wide one on my MX.

Did some first testings – sadly without a hood. As I mentioned above. It's really soft at 3.5 but gets much better at 5.6 or 8. There is a lot of distortion – didn't recognize that before.

3.5 100%

thx for your informations. I did some more research, and I guess that you are right – it must be a Sun made lens. It's my first Soligor and I'm really looking forward getting the best out of it.

thx. I'll try it out. I guess any wide angle hood for 62mm should do the job.

If used outdoor. But you also mean for indoor shots?
But good idea. If I will use it regularly, I'll have to search for an adequate hood.

Found this one today in my local camera store. For really, really cheap. It's in perfect condition, looks and feel very good and 23mm is a very interesting lenght.
Couldn't test this lens already, I just took some first shots in the store to see if everything works. My first impression is: It's a bit soft at 3.5 and it's very, very sharp at 8, just tested on a digital crop-Canon – maybe there is less sharpness to the edges on a film-Pentax. If it really does perform that good that I think it will, it might get my new favourite wide angle.
Anyone who also owns one of these?
Anyone who got more information about it?
I'll post samples soon.

I also sometimes photograph my negatives… You can do a lot colour correction by adjusting the white balance on the camera. But sometimes it is really hard to get nice colours. So mostly I let my negatives profesionally scanned. Costs a bit of money but I don't have to scan and colourcorrect them which costs me easily an hour or more per 36-images film.
Scanning or photographing slides is much easier by the way.
