Just won this fairly old Japanese item on Ebay US around €22 excluding postage (and possible stupid fees) yesterday.
"Surprisingly", the only clues about using this lens leads either to Attila  or to a bunch of Asian bokehmeisters, discussing in weird languages and using weird symbols 
Being psychically well prepared to expect optically the worst, I already like the lens very much

I have this, and a couple of its big brothers the 135/2.8

Its a Sankor, made by Nissin Optical.
This is a fixed mount lens, not a T-mount, and its probably from the early 1960's.

Yup, Sankor, it could be very good or it could be mediocre, Sankors in my experience can be both. The 2.5/105 is excellent but I have a couple of 200s that are both poor.

So it arrived. The optics have certainly seen a better days and of course customs fascists conjured up an extra fees, but another rare relatively cheap lens is at home again. Better not have boring bokeh!
Shipping and fees actualy cost me much more than item itself, that's how I really don't imagine free healthy market

Yesterday I went out with under a below average sun. The bokeh is somewhat calm, possibly with small filled circles and rainbow effect against the sun.
Ad sharpness, the lens seems to be a decent performer even wide open.
f/3.5
f/22

Hello
f22 is too much , because of diffraction, try f8-f11 for better sharpness and micro-contrast
bokeh seems creamy , maybe good performer for portrait |
