A long await lens , I would get from long time ago. Simple a superb lens, sharp even wide open. I will post some picture later. I believe better than Takumar 85mm f1.8 and perhaps better than Nikkor 85mm f1.8 but I am not sure. I believe this is a top quality lens hard to make better one.

How is it externally is it a Zebra?
I always wanted one, but everyone wants it on Ebay and the prices are crazy.

Wow wow photographs, flower and mushroom shots are great.
I have the same lens, but never able to achieve this level yet,
of course I am more collector than photog. Very Happy

The last two shots reminds me we had wonderful mushroom
soup at Gyor in Czech last year.
