I LOVE THIS LENS, well made, solid construction and focus ring smooth. The only thing quite annoying is when the aperture ring is not set to aperture mode it's quite uncomfortable. The IQ is amazing, very sharp (even tack sharp at wide apertures), the coma and purple fringes (common with fast lenses) is absent, tiny chromatic aberration when used wide open in the sun (but I'm asking to much and the lens performs very well) but when stopped at 1.6 CA is not present anymore The bokeh is wonderful, and the color reproduction too. The flare is well controlled @ TA and even better when stopped @ 1.6.

Really good lens, I bought it in boundle with a Pentax Mx in an auction, the lens is built in plastic (shine solid plastic like Canon's FD series lens) but the mount and the internal body I think is metal (it weights quite a lot for a plastic lens), the aperture ring is a bit hard but it includes half stops. The lens include a telescopic lens hood (hidden in the body) very useful. The diaphragm is 6 blades and the lens are provided with a sort of multicoating. The minimum focus distance is 1.4 meters. The image result quite contrasty, a little of ghost effect at F/3.5 that partially soft the image with the little aberration, vignetting and distorsion are non existing, the contrast and the coma are non present when the aperture reach 5.6 . Very similiar result like the SMC M 135 3.5 (maybe a clone?, even the lens coating is very similiar to M series lenses). The color rendition is superb (no purple fringe - or in some cases well controlled - and very suitable for usage with DSLR), color pops, beautiful bokeh (for a so cheap lens) and 3D rendition. This is a must have lens for who start using "vintage" lenses: cheap, well built and great results Here are some example photos: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=11715&pictureid=108268 with an aperture of 5.6 the coma and purple fringe are very well controlled https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=11715&pictureid=108269 facing the sun with 3.5 of aperture is not suitable https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=11715&pictureid=108264 https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=11715&pictureid=108265 https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=11715&pictureid=108266 https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=11715&pictureid=108267 The color rendition (all photos at 3.5) is very pleasing, and neutral https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=11715&pictureid=108271 https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=11715&pictureid=108270

Very beautiful fisheye, not so sharp until f/5.6, aberrations tent to be a bit important at corners, great even facing sun

For that price a must have, well built, very sharp and without the (in)famous Ricoh Pin photo shooted at TA https://www.pentaxforums.com/gallery/images/101592/large/1_13116074_1199744890035568_7114040995226099953_o.jpg
