got this lens loaned for testing from a guy i know, so i'm not listing this under "testing my lenses" series

it's Kilfitt Muenchen Tele-Kilar 300mm/5.6 nr 208-7179

this copy of the lens had a stiff focusing ring that made focusing pain in the .ss

#4 is excellent, very striking.
What do you think of the sharpness at f/5.6 ?

as i mentioned in the first post, this copy of the lens has really stiff focus ring, that made it somewhat difficult to get the precise focus, so i can't give you definite verdict on the sharpness. my feeling is that it's sharp enough, not tack sharp

My copy is not sharp at F5.6 and it grows. We have a old thread on this lens.
