Pros: small, sharp, good color & contrast
Cons: old or no coating, very prone to flare, busy/distracting bokeh

I got jerked on the shipping for this, else this was an {auction site} STEAL at $5.50. Looks similar to Mamiya/Sekor or Fujinon m42 lenses (rebranded?).
Great image quality but very prone to flaring (like light leaks), and sharp even wide open. Bokeh seems slightly swirly at 1.8.

Placeholder sample pics:

f/2, I believe

I would guess f/4
