How does this lens perform wide open and does it need to be stopped down for optimum performance? |

My opinion - excellent
At f/5.6 it out resolved my APS-C 16mp sensor so I can't say if it improves by stopping down.
It's a lovely, solid tiny thing. _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. |

being a bit of a Takumar lover, user and collector I have the lens since a while but because I usually don't use that long lenses have not been using it but recently, 2 shots taken on FF Sony A7 wide open. Ok, not many things in focus / sharp, but they might show it's sharpness nevertheless and that it goes all the way to the edges

It's a very good lens, a bit slow if you like fast lenses, but the quality of the images makes that irrelevant really. _________________ LENSES & CAMERAS FOR SALE.....
