I've never tried the 20/4 Ai, but I'll bet it works much like my 20/3.5 Ais. I know that my 20 Ais is very compact and light, but your 20/4 is even smaller and 25g lighter. Amazing!

Below is a scan of a slide I took at Lake Tahoe last November with the little 20/3.5. It was also my last ever roll of Kodachrome 64. I like Fujichrome better, but it was still kind of sad to see it go.

What a cracker! Very Happy

It's a great lens, better than the more modern 20/2.8 in my view

I love the first series. Vivid color and sharp.
