Whats are peoples opinions about this lens?

I cant seem to find enough large images on the web to develop an opinion.

If you have thoughts or photos to share, please do.

Isn't this a lens that was produced in very small numbers? I read recently that the 80-240 was only made in a few hundred copies.

Good luck with your search.

Here's one large example I found:

yes, very likely the reason why such few images

I understand it has a 4 blade iris, would love to see the efect of that

I had a componar enlarger lens with a 4-bladed iris, it made the bokeh quite harsh with square highlights.

I'm not sure the 80-240 is all that rare. It was made over a fairly long period of time and in quite variety of mounts (Exackta, M42, Nikon, Canon FL, Alpa...) I had one briefly but, as it was in exackta mount, I never managed to shoot with it. I sold it to China for a tidy profit instead.
