| | Found the lens on Ebay for $25 and thought I'd give it a try. I really liked the quality & handling of the lens but it looks like I'll only be able to use it for certain occasions.
My example is older than the one shown above which may account for its shortcomings.
My first photo is at f8 and 100% cropped. I don't see any problems with it but this is my first review and I'm new to this sort of thing.
The second photo's at f8 also. I think the center's nice but the edges are too soft.
The last two photos are at f11. Ended up with sharp centers and softer at the edges. I was looking for a landscape lens that would be between my 28mm & 50mm but mine is a poor choice for that. I'd only recommend this lens for close, centered subjects. | |

| | Super Impressed. It may not be the fastest lens but its pretty fast. It seems well built. All Metal construction and a nice mechanism for switching from A to M mode. The lens is cap is a screw which is a bit odd but not a deal breaker by any means. The focus ring is very smooth and accurate. Aperture dial is easy to access when using the lens viewfinder. I paid 20 dollars for it and it has pretty dang good sharpness for the price. If you can find one on eBay I would not hesitate to pick up. I didn't even notice any aberrations. Obviously, nitpicking at this point would find some flaws but I am still happy with my acquisition Accura 35mm f 2.8 Lens by Peter Desilvey, on Flickr
