The sun came out for 30 secs and I happened to have this old gent mounted on my 5D. Acceptably sharp wide open.

I've had the lens for about 4 months and I take it out occasionally for moon shots usually, but it's had very little use. One of these days I aim to go through my lens collection and actually use them, to see how they perform
100% crop on this particular one is OK

Not bad and `accaptably sharp' is probably fair.
What's CA like on this lens? I've a Tamron 300mm and it's sharper than your samples, but CA can render it useless.

One of my favorite lenses. For the focal length, I find mine to have relatively little CA, and what is there is very controllable. If I remember correctly, yours is an older zebra.

Acceptably sharp.....
CA is there, but not uncomfortably so
I have certainly seen a lot worse than this lens

Need muscular arms and this is a very good lens  I did call 'Arny' lens when I had one. Pentacon 300mm f4 even more heavier. I did like both optical quality just fine.

A favorite of mine as well....shot at night with extension tubes...wide open through a large picture window...tripod
A shot from about 10 meters stopped down a wee bit to about f5 through a large picture window,focused on the eye of the Stellar Jay...tripod
A shot from absolute minimum focus distance...wide open...monopod
A shot with 72mm of extension tubes...wide open...can't remember if this was monopod or tripod...probably monopod
A shot in the evening just before sunset...wide open...monopod

Nice shots, Boomer, and good to see you here again. I particularly like that first blue flower picture. I think the lens is plenty sharp at any aperture, but there is much more to this lens that provides an overall great IQ. It's hard to nail down exactly what all that is - maybe the color, maybe bokeh, maybe everything. I tend to like telephotos for portraitture, and this lens provides me with what I think are very pleasing portraits, although one has to set up rather far from the subject A tripod is a necessity for all but the very muscular with great stamina. I can't resist sharing more from my lens... wish I kept better records of the exposure...

Hey Mike, very nice shots! See what you mean about this lens. Shame I can't find anything that isn't brown or dull red to shoot |

Wow...those are some amazingly sharp images! The lens definitely does quite well stopped down and paints a unique picture.I need to use that lens more...been so busy,always have a camera or three with me...but I've rarely been home enough since last fall,which is where I keep the leviathan of a lens.

It's a very good lens indeed. Only 300mm is too long for me; even 200mm is on the border of what I use.
