This lens appears identical to the Petri CC Auto 50/1.8.

It is a surprisingly good performer. Sharp wide open with neutral contrast and colors. Rendering is nice but...generic.
Bokeh can be busy which some will like, others won't.

It has a lot of plastic with metal strips glued on for distance scale and aperture. Focusing and aperture control just feel "plasticy" and loose.

It's not a Takumar, but for $3 it was a pleasant surprise.

Taken at f1.7 with no PP.
