I guess very crappy Laughing Cosina branded lenses are low quality ones usually. I can't imagine good one in super wide angle. Forget it.

I do not think you're wrong.
The doubt is because they made the Apo Lantar
Thanks

They are manufacturer of many stunning lenses , like Voigtlander or Carl Zeiss perhaps they make new Leica lenses too I don't know, but own brand Cosina is cheap thing like Vivitar or Spiratone and I think even more worst.

A member here wanted to sell it, so I made a test with it and immediately refused the deal, since it is very soft esp. in the corners. Not recommended.

Just wanted to make sure, these pretty girls you shoot will be sharp all over Very Happy Very Happy

Joke aside, a much better one is the 17mm Tokina if you are looking for a cheap lens.

Klauss, for these places is what it is, the market for good lenses is very small.
The tokina 17 is very good, and I would like a 20mm flektogon MC, but in a year and a half there has been none for sale.
Thanks.
