AP w/e 28/8/82: "While the specificationsof this lens are standard, in terms of performance it was one of the best 135s we've seen".
"An optic which is an advertisement for the fixed focal length lens. Although a simple design, performanceof this lens was hard to fault. Test prints were extremely crisp - at f8 it would be difficult to find a better result. Contrast also very high. Slightly soft at full aperture and at f/16 -22, but still more than adequate."
"Apart from the exceptional 135mm, they won't match top camera maker's own lenses, but they are not far behind..."

The Super Ozeck lens range were produced in Japan in the early 1980s for the U.K.discount warehouse chain Comet. AP reviewed the entire range and considered the 135mm to be the cream of the crop and to be the equal of its contemporaries produced by the camera makers. This particular example is in near mint condition and was purchased for the princely sum of £16.00 (~$26.00). The lens has a built in hood but it is insufficiently deep, so I created a 'slip-on' extension out of black Fab Foam.
My initial impressions are that this is a sharp lens, however, as I have no other 135mm with which to compare it, I would be interested to hear the opinions of other members with more experience of using lenses of this focal length manufactured by Pentax and the main third-party manufacturers.
