I'm thinking of buying this lens, but I can't find as much information on the Internet as I expected. Could you give me some information about it? I'd like to "hear" about your experience with it and some shots if you have it. I already seen the info of it in MFlenses page, but I'm still looking for some more opinions. Thanks for your time Wink

I did, but what would be really great to see is some 100% crops. Anybody could give me some?

I bought one from Andy (could have been his only one?), it's a great lens, no doubt. And so tiny! Really a spectacular piece of glass, higher-contrast than the 21/2 I think. Well worth having if you can find one in good shape.

hi Rodrigo,
affordable (<300 Euro), tiny WA lens, useable even wide open at FF, but expect some CA (even @ F11) in the corners; you won't see them at crop cameras. (Wink)
Mediocre lens at crop, IMHO not worth the money, it needs FF sensor (as far I can see in Attilas and my own Canon D60 pictures of the lens). In terms of contrast and sharpness lightyears better than any Flektogon 20mm (I love them and own four different copies of 20/4 and one 20/2.8, just for sentimentality) Send me your e-mail-adress via PM and I send you some high-res pics on FF.

PS. Winner in terms of distortion compared to any fixfocal I know is Sigma 12-24, sad but true. Working aperture (sharp corners) of the Sigma@FF: F16 - the same like Flektogon 20/4.
