Yeah amazing detail and sharpness even at 1.7... Well i have a CZJ Tessar and it's really inferior to that lens, i'm talking image quality. May be i have a bad copy, and it's not nearly as sharp. And the bokeh on that lens (carrenar) is, well i love it...

I know this lens. It's PK all-right but (most probably) not made by Cosina. It's quite genuine design.

What do you mean with "quite genuine design". I'm quite new to photography and i have limited knowledge on lens manufacturers etc.

Like this:
I noticed that the serial number is different, and mine MC is bright orange.

Hope you like it, here some previews. Yesterday the weather was moderately good, so we went to the park, today it's starting to snow...
Enjoy:
