Yup, it's a Kiron, now I want the matching 2/28 as this 2/35 impresses me.

These are all wide open, just wanted to see if the lens was useable at f2, seems to me that it is.

it have very nice vivid colours! I like it, it seems to be less useful in panorama and architecture, but nature photos looks brilliant in my opinion!

Agree with zakapior, I reckon this will be a nice walkaround standard lens on crop, although it looks poor wide open for landscapes. Reminds me of the 28/2 Kiron, thanks for sharing

I only shot those wide open shots to see how sharp it was wide open, I can't see me ever shooting landscapes or architecture wide open, I will do some stopped down shots when I have time.
This is the only stopped down landscape pic I have taken so far, was supposed to be a sunset view but I was a tad too late:

When I say landscapes, I mean night shots at infinity e.g. city scapes etc. which can usually be handheld wide open at ISO 1600.

I always do my night shots on a tripod at f16, long exposures, but I take your point.
