I have this lens for a while... and I am always amazed at the quality of this cheap lens.
I have this on Minolta mount, but the mount is a little loose and is very hard to focus (the lens gets out of the camera when I focus)
here are some samples, all wide open.
I think the sharpness is very good, even wide open (stoped down this lens is as sharp as my best lenses), but the rather long 0.6m MFD is a pain compared to my Minoltas 0.3m MFD
Here's a comparison to my Minolta 35mm f/2.8 MC
The Minolta is much more 3D like, but the sharpness is similar, and the bokeh is subjective... what do you think?

Wow! I'm both surprised and shocked, that it holds up that well against the Minolta. 
I'm curious as to the maker of the lens. can you post a couple pics of the lens.

yeah, sure!
here are some pics of the lens
look the interesting 8-blade aperture...
I don't remember how much I payed for this lens... but I'm sure it was no more than 20, 25 U$... for the price, this lens is really really good

I'm guessing first-generation Tokina auto series (late 1960's) in fixed mount.
Its very similar in structure to the T4 mount Soligor and Vivitar 35mm, which were also of the early Tokina auto series. The 35mm T4 is a pretty good lens.
Lentar-brand lenses are also mostly Tokina. Though not all.
The alternative is Sun.

Great info! thanks!
This 8-blade aperture is very similar (if not equal) to a Vivitar-Tokina 28mm f/2.8 lens I have

Sorry to revive an older thread ... I just picked up a slightly different example of the same lens, in Pentax M42 mount, for $10. The minimum focus is about 0.4m, and the focus throw is very long indeed, at close to 360 degrees! I will post some pics of and by the lens. |

Does anyone has info about f/3.5 version (35mm)? When focused to infinity, it has quite protuberating back part.
Here is an exemple : Ebay
The one I saw is full black (not like the one on ebay)
