Latest Review Posted	Pentacon / Meyer Optik Lydith 30mm F3.5 I was looking for a CHEAP manual wide for my mechanical film camera and occasional use on DSLR. Between the numerous odd and unknown names of cheapest 28mm's i noticed somewhat known brand - Pentacon. I decided to give it a try. I must admit, despite it being slow and not very well known i was pleasantly surprised. Mostly because it is quite sharp wide open. At this price point there are usually noticeable quality trade-offs, but this lens performed quite well. Here are some samples, to tell you the rest of the story: (k200d, all at f/3.5) http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4005/4683051942_2afbebc2a6.jpg http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1280/4683052396_bd505735c1.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4067/4683052842_f9fe80fd87.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4040/4682423475_6892a3efda.jpg And by the way, i think there might be some other versions of this lens: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3327/3585388284_ef8e38a345.jpg (PICTURE NOT MINE, all credit goes to the appropriate flickr user or whoever took the picture).
