I got this Korean made lens a couple months ago @ the same time as a Vivitar Series 1 70-210/3.5. & I never really paid much attention to this Sears lens that I got for about $20 with shipping. Reading some posts here this evening made me think of it & I took it out onto the balcony in the evening light to try it out. I had the ISO set @200 & set the lens to macro, wide open & took a pic of a flower about 8' (2.5M) away.
Next I set the lens to normal & again wide open took a pic of my garden 100' (30M) away.
Both shots were hand held. I must confess I was impressed. I will have to take some more serious shots with it tomorrow. _________________ Ron

My LBA eBay spree in 2008-2009 brought me, among other things, two Sears-branded Ricoh-made Korean near-twin zooms: 80-200/4 (M42 mount, # 840830082) and 70-210/4 (KR-mount, # 860424246). With shipping, they were US$9 each, as was another in the same batch: Takumar-A 70-200/4 (KA-mount). About the same time I paid US$33 for a Vivitar Series 1 Version 1 (Kiron) 70-210/3.5 (M42 mount). What with the Tak and Viv to keep me busy, I really haven't played with those Sears-Ricoh's. The poor things must feel neglected. I should take them out for a walk...
PS: Nice shots! _________________ Too many film+digi cams+lenses, oh my -- Pentax K20D, K-1000, M42s, more

Well, I went out this morning with the camera on a tripod & took a few far/near shots. The camera remained @ ISO 200 & shot in RAW. Developed & auto tone in Lightroom & converted to jpeg, re-sized & slight sharpening in PhotoScape. All shot treated the same.
1/1.
1/2.
2/1
2/2.
3/1.
3/2.
4. This shot is cropped a bit.

The shots look good to me, the bokeh is pretty nice in some shots too, I'm known for having low standards bokeh wise but I think it just goes to show that there are a lot of contributing factors to how good bokeh looks such as subject distance, background distance, background illumination etc before the abilities of the lens even come into it, I think this lens delivers very solid results! _________________ - Dave
