I bought this lens at an online auction site some days ago, I also asked for info about it in a thread here, and I received it today.
The Praktica is a bit bulky compared to the fujicas I'm used to, but together with the lens it makes a nice combo, IMHO.
Here it is:
I just had the chance to shoot a couple of snaps with my dslr, but the lens looks really promising.
Here's a 100% crop, f4 at minimum focus distance, handheld with windy weather (not perfectly focused, but it seems sharp to me: no sharpening or any other PP applied):

Thanks Attila: I don't think i Will use the body much, I don't shoot film often and in those occasion my Fujicas (st801 and az1) are just perfect for my needs.
But it looks good together with the lens, which so far seems like a keeper. _________________ C&C and editing of my pics are always welcome
