Of course, not a fair comparison, but I was curious how the Sun-Cosmicar holds up against one of my favorite vintage lenses: the Nikkor-H.C 85mm f/1.8. Not a serious comparison, but for fun.
100% crops:
Bucketloads of CA with the Nikkor @ f/1.8. The Sun-Cosmicar actually does better until F/2.
From F/2.8 and up, the Nikkor is the clear winner. The Sun has more vibrant colors though.
Some bokeh shots:
The Sun-Cosmicar has a smaller image circle and it shows. Bokeh more creamy in the Nikkor. A lot of '3D pop' as well! |

Very creditable performance! Especially at f/2.
The main advantage of the Nikkor is coverage, that is, full frame.
