Some wild post processing there! Really hard to evaluate lens contribution that way.

Hmm, I would expect better results to be honest. These images look horrible to me. Neutral But sharpness seem good as far as I can tell. Smile

EDIT: Oh, I see now that these were shot on a Pentax Q10 with a crop factor of 5.6. So this 35mm becomes like a 200mm tele. Surprised How does this work out? Doesn't this also magnify all lens flaws like CA and such? I'd say judging by these samples the Q series cameras aren't worth the effort with adapting 35mm format SLR lenses...

I send the photos from phablet they seem ok on phone screen i think i must resize photos before sending when i look big photos i do not like them too..
I will send raw images for your opinions but they are b&w in camera.. Maybe problem is pentax q or my converting raw to joeg and ps problem?

Aha, this looks much more normal! Smile But no sharpness. Is the lens soft or just doesn't work well on the Pentax?

Like a lot of fast old primes it is soft wide open. Stopping down will help.

Is this the early version with 67mm filter thread or the newer with 49mm filter thread?

Lens seems good on crop & smaller sensors! I already know good "normal" lens for Aps-C.

Compare these photos with photos using a lens made for that camera. Because photos from that tiny sensor will not compare favorably from the other lens examples here made using larger sensors.

If the lens good pentax q performance is good
If the lens bad i cannot get any good results
For me this is more important to judge the lenses
Tomorrow i will use my smc macro takumar 50 mm
