Here is a comparison to the Zeiss ZE 100/2. The sharpness are comparable to the Zeiss but the CA control is much better(the Makro-Planar is known for the high CA at wide open).

I like the portraits shown on their site a lot.
The comparison with the ZF 2/100mm is very easy to win, I sold mine because of that very prominent CA after just a few days. _________________ Klaus - Admin

Thanks for the correction! The Zeiss is in ZF mount as the test is done on a Nikon camera.
There are lots of samples of the bokeh in the back and I am also interested to see more show the front bokeh. A direct comparison with the Minolta STF will be even more valuable than comparing it to a Zeiss! _________________ https://lensfever.com/

Yes, I fully agree, a STF lens SHOULD be comnpared to another STF lens and not compare apples with oranges! _________________ Klaus - Admin

I did not understand very clearly how to adjust the aperture. Is it a preset lens or counted clicks is required.
Unfortunately for the system I use (Pentax) it is missing the diaphragm lever, which would have simplified the lens use. _________________ http://www.adlightstill.smugmug.com |

From what I know, it is similar to the Minolta STF. There is two sets of aperture and aperture control: the top one is the STF aperture which is step-less and the lower on is the conventional aperture with clicks. The Pentax K version will offer automatic aperture control which makes it works like a Pentax-A lens. _________________ https://lensfever.com/

This is not a good news. Normally, you should get the parcel after they ship it within three weeks. However, it could be more than a month if there are issues. _________________ https://lensfever.com/

Shipping confirmation came two and a half month ago and was a system error and the lens delivery has been postponed a few times. I got in touch with them yesterday and my lens has been shipped three days ago, they say. It is odd that I had to ask for that and the tracking number, no email, not a word from the company.
Lets just hope the lens is ok which is one of the most interesting ones lately IMO
