This is my first adaptall SP lens. A splendid specimen in mint condition. There has been huge debates on if this lens is better than 19AH. For a very brief time I had both and subsequently sold the 19AH as I found that the only thing this lens lacks is micro-contrast which can be added in post. With this said, these examples are straight out of the camera with no post processing. Everything was shot at 210mm at closest focus distance. The macro ratio is 1:2 at this distance. It would seem this lenses has a very slight tendency to over-expose. I will adjust exposure compensation according in the future. Aperture is 5.6 which is incrediblely thin at this focus distance.
