I had almost forgot about this lens, which I hadn't used for a while. Gave it a whirl this morning.

Thanks guys. This was shot at 135mm. I was doing a comparison between this lens and my recently acquired Helios 135, exactly the same subject. This had been converted from raw to jpeg, but straight from the camera, this lens had better colour and contrast. However, I think the Helios was marginally sharper out of the camera. I have found this lens not that sharp at infinity. Could that be because the Viv is a telephoto and Helios is fixed at 135mm?
