Nice shots, glad you like it, it's very underrated, it's too bad all copies are not at there best.

It's a great lens, and very nice images.

I have three 44M and all are good, I can't see any difference in them. I guess I've been lucky with my FSU lenses?

Thanks y'all!

I have a 44m, which is great, and two 44-2 copies. This is my first test with that later lens, and I haven;t tried the other one yet. (It has a lot of oil on the blades though)



I am trying to work through my backlog of lenses that I bought but haven't properly tried yet before I buy any new ones Wink

underrated good lens but very prone to flare and hard to find a sun hood.

Hard? Shocked

It's a screw 49mm filter, it's quite common on the bay

I love the flares, they can be used to really good effect IMO. While it may not have a lot of contrast with strong lighting, that's easily fixable with RAW.

Yeah I love the flare happy nature of some of these lenses. I use them for video as well and it's a feature, not a bug in that context Very Happy
