I bought this lens even though I knew it wasn't a sharpness bomb, I have a 1984 test from the Italian magazine the photographer (in the issue 18mm 24mm 28mm 35mm 135mm 200mm were tested...) he refuses to take photos and it's worse than I thought , allergic even to APSC is one of the worst goals I've ever had

This lens is very rare, and currently right now, February 1st, 2023 on eBay, a seller has one listed for 250 USD.
I searched ebay every single day for over two years for this lens. When I found one, I pounced on it. Unfortunately, I had to get into a bidding war with another buyer, and I would not be denied. Haha.
I cannot say enough good things about this lens. It's built like a tank, with a built-in metal lens hood. Solid overall metal construction. I do believe it was originally made for Ricoh, along with the similarly built Ricoh XR Rikenon 24mm f/2.8, by Samsung. Apparently it was only made for about two years, I do believe. But, I love this lens and if you like wide lenses for K-mount bodies, this is a good one.

| Pros: | Rare, bokeh, sharpness, color | | Cons: | none | |
I got this old lens from my friend. Somehow I bought it from him. At first,
he said the lens was bad, but I had it cleaned and surprisingly the
lens shows its great performance.
Sharpness. Quite sharp at open wide (2.8) and has great bokeh. Umm..
looks like a CZ biometar bokeh. My favourite F stop is F8. When the
lens at F8, the performance increase to the max. It has great colour, great
contrast, great sharpness. You may have this lens.
Focusing : the lens has fast focusing and close focus up to 25 cm
it has no distorsion with the 18 focal length on APS-C camera, but I
don’t know if this lens in has same effect on Fullframe.
